Not So Well Read

Have you ever wondered what the heck was going on in the minds of all the professors at your favorite magic schools? If so, add The Incandescent to your TBR immediately!

This book is basically my entire personality. It’s got a protagonist with major Emily Wilde vibes, a magic school that’s just as deadly as The Scholomance, an incredible evocation-based magic system…. AND IT’S SAPPHIC!!!

I have absolutely torn through this book with the same ferocity of a centuries-old demonic entity. And luckily, it’s out Tuesday (5/13) so you can too!

The Incandescent by Emily Tesh

Genre-focused indie bookstore owner with the personality of a border collie and the tastes of a victorian ghost.

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!

I’m a genre-obsessed reader who has made books my entire life–literally, I own a independent bookstore and founded a non-profit book festival in my hometown. I believe that reading is meant to be fun and so there’s no such thing as a “guilty” pleasure read. I’m here to help folks find their next favorite book sans stigmas, expectations, or required reading.
