💭 what’s a book you wish got more love?

it’s fun to talk about popular books (since more people have read them & can contribue to the conversation), but i genuinely tend to prefer the hidden gems! 

i love diving into an underrated/underhyped book without any expectation of how i should feel while reading it and without anyone else’s opinion in my head.

📚 books mentioned:
- Warm-Blooded by J Greene
- We Have Reached the End of Our Show by Ali Gordon
- Tale of the Flying Forest by R.M. Romero
- Arc of the Universe by Nikki Alexander

👗💄:
- dress is from Reformation, rented from Nuuly
- earrings are from Art by Mesoma
- eyeshadow is In A Trance Palette from Colourpop and The Lord of the Rings Middle-Earth Palette from Glamlite
- Lip combo is Acaríciame (Rosa 4) and Háblame (Morado 2) from Aora México
- (also if you have a question about my makeup or something i’m wearing, most of it is curated in my shopmy!)

thank you to Ingram, Ali Gordon, Little, Brown Books for Young Readers, and The Nerd Fam for the gifted copies!

💭 what’s a book you wish got more love?

Hi friend! I’m Steph – let’s devour some otherworldly stories together.

Steph

During this phase, we're reviewing manuscripts and deciding which book we want to publish. At the end of this phase, we offer an author a book deal.

Consideration

As the manuscript goes through several phases of editorial work, the cover and interior design takes place, while format decisions about paper stocks and printing treatments are made.

Editorial & Design

While the books are on press, the pre-order links go live and the marketing campaign ramps up with waves of review copy mailings to media and influencers.

Pre-order

The finished copies have released on the book's publication date. Go give it some love!
