If we don’t do it, it won’t get done Leah Whitman-Salkin

How could the work of making books—from research to writing to pitching to editing to design to printing to publishing to launching to getting press and into bookstores—be less lonely, less self-contained, less pressured and daunting? That is, more communal, more supportive and shared, more FUN.

Can we assume that there is abundance in the world, all the resources are out there, we are just meant to believe they aren’t or our access to them is restricted, or budgets make them seem impossible?

Can we activate ourselves, communally, to support each other as we move through various parallel projects?

On Thursday, May 2, we’ll meet to discuss these questions and more. We will do so with intention: to create—a la anarcho-socialist LGBTQI+ community newsletters and bulletin boards of the past, classifieds, and personal ads—an ongoing, sustainable community resource sheet, initiated here and with the hope that there is future.

This is a Pizza Party. Food and beverages will be served in abundance.
