It’s weird. Jessica and I have been working on this thing for two years now—imagining, planning, dreaming, drawing, writing, drafting, rewriting, editing, designing, redesigning, lettering, illustrating, editing again, photographing, curating, gathering, fact-checking, editing some more. But even though we did all of that, and for so long, only now does it actually feel like it’s really happening. Because now I’m sitting here with the actual book in my hands. We just received our advance copies, and for quite a while all I could think was, “It’s real.”
There are still two months to go before the book is real to everybody else, as well, but in the meantime we have a whole lot of snippets, sneak peeks and behind-the-scenes stuff to share. But if you’re champing at the bit like we are, you can pre-order your copy now.

Jessica and I are on pins and needles this week, as advance reader copies of our book will be arriving any day now. So while we wait to get our hands on the real thing, we figured now was a good time to share the cover of the book with you! I got to do the illustration and lettering on this puppy, and I can’t tell you how excited I am to see it in person. Getting to this point was a long, long process (and a story that’s worth sharing, so we’ll get to that another day), and it feels good to hear that people are already responding favorably to the design.
We’re pleased to announce that the book is now available for preorder (it’ll be hitting stores on Tuesday, October 11). You can find more info and preorder links to lots of retailers on our book page. And if you’re a shop owner interested in carrying our book in your store, you can find all the info on bulk ordering direct from the publisher inside my wholesale catalog.
More details soon!

A year ago we told our families and closest friends. A few months ago we started whispering to colleagues and acquaintances. Lately we’ve been spreading the word on the down-low, at events and gatherings. And now we can finally spill the beans in public:
Jessica and I are publishing a Dead Feminists book!
We’ve been hard at work for months already, and the writing, editorial and design part of the process is entering the home stretch. But it’s still too early for us to be able to share many nitty-gritty details, but we can tell you that the book will be called Dead Feminists: Historic Heroines in Living Color, and that it’s coming in October 2016 from Seattle’s very own Sasquatch Books.
There’s so much more to come, everything from photos to the cover design to sneak peeks to event details. But for now, enough things are still up in the air that we can’t show all our cards (or mix all our metaphors) at once. So to make sure you don’t miss any announcements, I suggest signing up for our mailing list.
More soon—we promise!
