Preorder is live!
And I'll sign your copy if you order through my local indie bookstore :)
It’s real! It’s happening! Leave: A Postpartum Account is now available for preorder.
The Electric Literature cover reveal and preorder went live on Tuesday, and I was inundated with love and excitement from all the corners of my life.
Thank you, friends and family and Internet strangers who have supported this book. You are truly the best.
This book is for you if…
You or someone you love had a rough birth and/or postpartum experience and you want to feel less alone
You feel like spending a little time considering all the ways capitalism affects birth in this country
You like books that can be read in one sitting
You have an insatiable desire for birth stories
Your experience of having and/or being a mother is complicated
When I say, “Birth and death are the same portal,” you know exactly what I mean
Why preorder?
You’ll get the book on pub day!
Preorders help my publisher determine how big the first print run should be!
Preorders help my local bookstore figure out how many copies to order!
I’ll sign your copy if you order through said local bookstore!
Three ways to order
From our distributor, Asterism — this is also where you can place wholesale orders if you are a retailer or librarian
From Lofty Pigeon Books — these will be signed!!!
Preorders will arrive on or slightly before February 25, 2025. Think of it as giving February you a little gift.
Alright, loves. That is my big preorder pitch! Leave news from now until February will go back to its little section of the newsletter unless something huge happens. Back to our regularly scheduled writing updates next week.
Love,
Shayne
BIG congrats, Shayne!! The cover illustration was truly worth the wait. Incredible. Ordered my copy!
Done and done!
