Small presses keep closing because of the lack of support for diverse books and underrepresented voices. We need your help to keep going and to keep publishing diverse books! Anything you can do to support us 🙏🏾 and please share

Check out my post ashprincewriter.wordpress.co… 2025 has been a genuinely exciting year for my writing. One of my poems was shortlisted for the Aurora Prize, and I was thrilled to win Hashtag2025 —
