I tried to pre-order your book at my local independent bookstore and couldn’t. Then I pre-ordered through your website. Now that the book is out, can I order extra copies through my independent bookstore..?

Thank you so much for pre-ordering! Because my publisher is a small, volunteer-led press that is non-profit, at the moment they use Amazon publishing for their books so that’s the only place to currently order them. However, because of their publishing structure, I retain 100% of the profits (highly unusual for a writer), which means I’m able to donate 20% to the organizations I listed above. In the future I hope to have an easier way for my book to end up in independent bookstores as that’s where I prefer to shop and support, but unfortunately, I don’t have any sway in this. Thank you for supporting my book. This book’s success makes it more likely future books will be published with publishers who have more diverse printing methods.

I preordered in January. when should I expect the books to be delivered? I see that you can order them directly on amazon and they ship in just a couple of days?

Hi Maggie! My publisher just finished all pre-orders, so you should be getting it soon. Because they’re a small publisher it took them longer to get all the pre-orders put in (they had to do it manually because the pre-orders were collected by a separate system than Amazon). Thank you so much for supporting my work and for your patience 💛
