It’s been one year since our second Betty title, The Boat Not Taken by Joanna Kalbus - Author Choi Kalbus, came into the world! 👏📖

This book continues to resonate in such a lasting way, and we’re so grateful to every reader who has picked it up, shared it, and kept it alive in conversation. Happy one-year anniversary to a story that still feels as powerful and present as ever!

"When I established Betty in May 2023, I wanted to create more than just a publishing house for writers who identify as women. I wanted to build a sanctuary for stories that might otherwise be overlooked—a place that honors the truth of lived experience."

May is a time of reflection for Betty Publisher and Editor in Chief Peg Alford Pursell. In this special newsletter edition, she shares what sets Betty apart as an independent press—and where we’re headed next. 📚✨

Did you know Betty author Leah De Forest is also a Senior Editor at Bloom—and the creator of The POV Playbook? 📖

Bloom has long been a home for writers and artists who didn’t follow a conventional timeline, spotlighting those whose first major works came at 40 or later and questioning who gets to define “late” in the first place.

With The POV Playbook, Leah turns to craft, building a library of examples and conversations around point of view—one of the most complex and often frustrating elements of writing. ✍️
