Root Down Brewing is a great venue for the first FREAKS & GEEKS FEST! 4-7 plus live podcast and vendors plenty. We have original art prints by @KESLENTZ too. Shoutout to Tianna Godsey for some pics & StoneSpine @jdalewrites for stewarding the table. Enjoy the walkthrough!

Proof of Life. Standard editions are binding & mailing. Check your inbox for alerts. Check your mailbox in the next few days. Fall Chapbook Cohort is coming soon on 10/23. @christinaltudor @TomSnarsky @OyedejiDamilol5

Putting this out into the universe: if you’re a publisher that signs an author we have before, please reach out. ARCs, blurbs, PR, combo deals, readings, whatever! Happy to support one of our own elsewhere.

Rest as long as you need. The water will continue to rush downstream. 🏔️

1 bad festival is not your fault. 2? There may be something else. If you’re a new vendor to the public, observe the pricing, ask the organizer for tips, and be flexible hourly. Weather and location matters, too. Hate to see you quit before you have enough data to know a problem.

BTS from @CollsBook @twchapbooks were the star of the show. So many lovely patrons, vendors, & tons of books. Was good to be next to @StanchionZine see old friends, & repeat readers. Thank you to the most literary town in New Jersey. Photos by @jdalewrites & @theoriginalison

One thing they don’t tell you about book festivals as a vendor is that you slowly morph into a bastion amongst hundreds, or even thousands, of people in a matter of hours and then you’re locked into your curated universe among many other pocket universes and that’s magic baby

Collingswood! Escape the mundane with Thirty West books from 10-4 today. We’re literally right across from the lovely Sabrina’s Cafe so get your book fix before you eat. @CollsBook is one of the best in NJ

Would’ve taken pics of classic Thirty West books that arrived in the mail but all got counted and packed for Collingswood. Hehe. Come out Saturday and find them. Booth 23 near Collings Ave. Lost? Look for the Thirty West road sign. Novel Valley and Chapbook Island await.

@Beach_Sloth Thank you Beach 🏖️ Sloth 🦥 for your words on Thirty West, Philly art scene, and bearing the torch. beachsloth.substack.com/p/th…

Not enough lit mags these days take into account the cheer-ability of their name. Try getting 20k ppl to chant Big Dumb Unserious Quarterly in unison.

A wonderful book launch in the books. ❤️🪩 💙 Thank you readers for a special night. A SWITCH FLIPPED IN ME, coming to a bookshelf near you.
