Back in the autumn of last year... we were hatching up a name for our new fantasy press.

Why Asteria Press?

Asteria is the Greek goddess of shooting stars. This symbol encapsulated our sky-high dreams, and the magic of new beginnings. It also links to the fantasy/mythology genre that we are so passionate about.

Hence our logo is a shooting star!

@writingcommunity How do you deal with the excruciatingly long wait between finishing a manuscript and seeing it in print?

My debut novella has been waiting with the publisher so long that legend Jeff Noon read it and wrote a nice little review a full year and a half ago (, ). Edits and illustrations are complete, just waiting in line behind one other book now. šŸ„²

When you know you've got a really great project about to start, the wait can be painful. Read about the experience of developmentally editing our first book.

Sharing a cheeky sneak peek of my story, "Where is home for you?", in the Cephalopress anthology "Borders and Belonging". Lots of wonderful writing in there, challenging those artificial borders. You can order it via the Cephalopress website.

Nerdy post about paper!
I spent quite some time looking for 90gsm bulky paper that work well with my printer and come in A4 format so that I don't have to store and cut big sheets of offset paper (which is a shame because I really like the Munken Print Cream from Artic Paper).

Turns out one trick is to look into Sketch Paper Pads BUT most pads are not a true A4 size as they count in the spirals. Luckily, I found this thing: Fabriano 1268 Sketch :)

Very happy that one of my own short stories, "Where is home for you?", features in the wonderful Cephalopress anthology Borders & Belonging, which you can now order via their website!

This is a beauty of an anthology, with contributions tackling the the themes of movement, identity, longing, and exclusion.

If you don't know what to get your literature-loving pals for Christmas, then get this, and help a hard working indie press out!

edition, day 11 is Casey Plettā€™s ā€œA Dream of a Womanā€! Plett is one of my all-time favorite authors, and writes stunning trans fiction. This book, from Arsenal Pulp Press, weaves interlocking but distinct stories across a novel-length manuscript ā€” truly a brilliant study in (trans-)form as well as content.
