Reminder the Great Lakes Pride Bundle is a really fun reward with a sliding $. It won't be mostly our stuff. I'm going to shop at Dancing Star, Queen of Swords, and the Gay Artists of Ferndale at a minimum, I'll ask what you want, what you don't want (or have) ... it'll be an *awesome* surprise.
New review! “This novella was quirky, immersive, and fun. I initially started listening and thought 💭 wait what.. but as I moved forward I was intrigued!! Author Andrew Hiller put his heart in this and gave us meanings…priceless.
I enjoyed this novella it was fun!!"
- Reviewer Lilli Castro ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The wraparound cover of Dream the Deep by Clara Ward, featuring a digital illustration in rainbow lines and watercolor textures, depicting massive octopus-like arms curling around an ocean-floor rover, which is kicking up clouds of dust.
Cover art for Dream the Deep, a novella from @atthisarts.com set 100 years after Clara Ward's queer, marine sci-fi novel Be the Sea.
The audiobooks for Dream the Deep *and* the following book Dream the Light are funding now on Kickstarter!

Well, you did it. Amazing. We will be announcing a stretch goal soon! Meanwhile, did you see that for $100-$1000 you can get me to curate for you a personalized Great Lakes Pride Bundle? You can be assured it will have a LOT of love in it.
Come on, big spender.
Oh, goodness. We said we'd announce a stretch goal if we could get to $2400 and I guess we'd better get going on that!
(No idea why my previews aren't loading atm...)

#Booksky Taking a few moments to rest on our proverbial laurels. Since 4/1/25, we have published 3 books, seen our publisher win a lifetime achievement award, done 30 some odd events and have our 🤞🏻 for the Astreiant Series to land on the Hugo ballot. Not too shabby! 🎉 queenofswordspress.com
Illustrated cover says Sailing the Golden Chersonese and features two absolutely delightful pirates on a boat. Graphic text reads: Queer Pirates, Trans Joy, Stories by Joyce Chng, Cover by Dhiyanah Hassan (it's so good), Queen of Swords Press
The joy you need today is in the breezes and waves of the SEA, shipped with love from Minnesota. Pirate adventures by the amazing Joyce Chng, and a cover by Dhiyanah Hassan you could stare at for *days*. (At least, we sure could!) Out now at: queenofswordspress.com/product/sail... #BookSky
If you love science fiction, we've got two new neuroqueer, gender-inclusive, earth-conscious sci-fi books with a trans author, a trans illustrator, and a trans voice actor. The author isn't able to do social media but did record an *awesome* video! We'd love for you to talk about it! #SciFi #BookSky

The cover of the book features a detective holding a super soaker loaded with Manischewitz red wine in a field of anthropomorphic water balloons. The cover is surrounding by blurbs. An unforgettable voice -Phillip K. Dick Award winner Meg Ellison A wild romp Hugo winner Joyce Chng Bonkers in the best possible way! Jo Miles Delightfully meshugana! -Nebula Finalist Effie Seiberg Timely, compulively readable, and just plain fun -PH Low It's Roger Rabbit meets the Yiddish Policeman's Union -Erik Grove This glossary is fantastic! I love it Nebula finalist Jennifer Hudak
It's out!!!
Hornytown Chutzpah is a Mel Brooks-esque mystery fantasy about a detective who goes into hell armed with a super soaker loaded with Manischewitz to help out a demon framed for murder.

Ex Partum by @slashnburnett.bsky.social is intense, highly personal, and doesn't pull its punches. It's even generally fair. As a dystopia, it's a heightened reality that's probably only one step removed (hopefully more than one step but I fear only one) from where some would like to take us.
Many pre-order sites are available, with website early orders coming in May!
Let's keep it going!
Yes! Thank you for reaching our base funding on the first day. Now that we see this interest in our trans, kind, ace storytelling, we will for sure make the audiobooks. And your support will help us with that so much! #BookSky #Kickstarter #Trans #Nonbinary #Neurodivergent #SciFi #SFF
Do you enjoy nonbinary ace protagonists, sea creatures, and neuroqueer chosen family joy? Get your copy - in digital, print, or audio, and help us fund an audiobook! Please spread the word. Now on #Kickstarter #BookSky #SciFi #Neurodiversity #QueerVoices #ASpec
Just backed this! You can too!
Happy Book Birthday to our beloved @ldlewiswrites.blacksky.app!!! Year of the Mer releases today--scoop it up and prepare to be dazzled 🔥🔥🔥
Amazing book alert!!!
I got to beta-read this and fully recommend it. 🤩
My best pitch for this is:
1) I had to pull myself away from editing Dream the Light to make these posts; I didn't want to put it down.
2) Creating and celebrating queer, globally-minded art is defiance. Join us in it.
3) You at least need to watch Clara's video. Trust me.

A harrowing extrapolation of today’s societal trends. This story hit me on a visceral level, as the plight of new mother Panya resonated with my own slough through early motherhood. Author emma burnett lays bare an all-too-plausible future—and shows that, even in an entrenched corporatocracy, hope can still sprout in the margins. —Myna Chang, author of The Potential of Radio and Rain; image shows surreal depiction of a repetitive interior. Ex Partum by emma burnett, sci-fi novella, coming June 2026, Atthis Arts, Detroit Michigan
