Publishing Updates!

Dismantling systems of oppression one book at a time.

Michael LaBorn

During this phase, we're reviewing manuscripts and deciding which book we want to publish. At the end of this phase, we offer an author a book deal.

Consideration

As the manuscript goes through several phases of editorial work, the cover and interior design takes place, while format decisions about paper stocks and printing treatments are made.

Editorial & Design

While the books are on press, the pre-order links go live and the marketing campaign ramps up with waves of review copy mailings to media and influencers.

Pre-order

The finished copies have released on the book's publication date. Go give it some love!

Michael

I am a Black man in a white-centered world and my reading tastes reflect that. I care about making space for Black and brown writers in an industry that has forgotten how badly it needs us. I am an author, book reviewer and passionate advocate for marginalized people and I love reading anything that pushes back against systemic barriers or challenges me to see the world through a wider lens. I can be a lot, so be prepared. But I promise it’ll be a good time!
