After sharing our debut book, Harriot Hare, by Jeff and Angela Knox, I did not expect well over 50 book queries and illustration portfolios to be in my inbox within the week! I'd like to believe it to be partly because of the quality of Harriot Hare. Yet, I do not have the funds to publish the books I'd love to and I am not a vanity or hybrid publisher, so I do not charge my authors to publish. I send five complimentary books to their door, hopefully, more one day!

I am asking the community to help me raise $2,500 to publish a collection of essays on anxiety and motherhood by author Lara d'Entremont, titled, "A Mother Held". This has been a long time coming and we’re so excited to get Lara’s book baby out into the world. I print from an overseas manufacturer for the sake of quality and control, so the printing & (freight) shipping equate to the amount we need.

For anyone who donates $50 or more, they will be given one copy of Lara’s book!

Thank you all so much. We’re grateful for this community.
