You’re in indie publishing
Despite a culture that sees reading as trivial
Despite a government that defunds art
Despite AI infiltrating life
Despite making a few bucks on book sales
You’re a 5-star review

Unfortunately, rejecting alot of manuscripts that go way over typical page counts of chapbooks. some prose is way over 50 pages which 98% of them are on 8.5x11 paper size, so after typesetting, will be much longer. Even if it’s great, we’re looking for chapbooks atm.

Westies, sad day. We didn’t get the grant we were hoping for. That’s ok, we will continue to do grant-worthy work for authors and readers. Onward!
