If you have a writer in your life and you'd like them to know that you care about their ambitions, may I suggest ordering a copy of my collaborative craft anthology, An Honour And A Privilege, as a Christmas present? (trust me, you'll get the MOST brownie points)
"I spent a while trying to figure out how to classify An Honour & a Privilege. Viewed through one lens it might not seem an important question: classification is mostly helpful for shelving decisions. But genre also dictates how one reads a thing. Whether you think of this book as an anthology (many authors), a collection (one common author), or a craft book (the reflective duets) may affect your perception of the whole. I struggle to compare this work to any of those three genres. The project in front of you reveals more about its craft than other anthologies. It's more authentically connected to strong exemplar material than other craft books. It's more heteroglossic than any collection I recall. The best way to think of An Honour & a Privilege may be to regard it as a genre all its own, one which depends significantly on its many interconnections, one which marks both an occasion and an invitation, one which offers us both a testimony as to what can be done together and a guide on how to do it." From the Foreword by Dr. Graham Robert Scott. The cover of the book is a vintage, slightly foxy red, with white font beside a large black and white ampersand.

BLOG UPDATE! New post where I work out thoughts about what appraoches to sex/sexuality both indie games and SFF publishing seem comfortable with and how it feels to try to put something that doesn't really fit out there... Gig and Zine reviews also added! hotelpaintings.neocities.org/posts/2025-0...

One of my most devastating stories EVER is in this anthology! You're not going to want to miss 'Mother Nature', and much more from talented horror writers.

Check out that amazing cover by Eric W. Brenner! Pre-orders open now: htthttps://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FRSJ488M?ref_=ast_author_dp

My weirdo sci-fi slowburning romance debut novel More Bugs is available in eBook form now after getting some fresh blurbs and attention from year end lists... 👀 👽 🛸 #sff 💙📚

eBook: www.knighterrantpress.com/product-page...
Print: www.knighterrantpress.com/product-page...
Info: emreed.net/more_bugs
eReader devices and a paperback book showing the cover of More Bugs, a cool and creepy illustration of a person pulling away the side of their face to show a large beetle crawling out. Has a quote from David Lewis, writing in Strange Horizons' 2024 in review: "a psychologically rich love story with subcutaneous insectoids who are all at once unsettling and touchingly romantic." and a blurb from Eve Harms, author of Transmuted: "An insightful and thought-provoking portrait of suburban alienation and longing with a delightful dash of body horror. Through engrossing prose, Reed stealthily weaves the impossible and everyday to reveal the suffocating dread of our personal histories."

need people to understand that the idea that “regular people” can’t understand trans people is inherently transphobic framing.

#1: we are regular people. demographically, we are less wealthy than cis people on the whole because of employment discrimination, housing discrimination, and the wage gap

Fellow USA readers and followers! It appears that there will be issues in the future for USA customers importing goods, mainly that the tax free levy for goods under $800 will be removed.

If you want a physical copy of our books, now is the time. Before 20th August

I'm a small press author and love leaving genuine, fantastic reviews of small press titles I'm passionate about. If you want small presses to stay alive and thrive in today's landscape, I urge you to do the same!!!

If you happened to read and enjoy the novella, or any of our other works – please think of leaving a rating or review, it makes a huge difference. Especially on such fun platforms as Amazon, Goodreads, etc. For sales but also, let's face it, for my sanity on some days.
