Atthis Arts, a family owned and operated press, is doing a fund drive to cover unsexy things like operating costs, and sexier things like publicity and new projects.

Atthis Arts has published a lot of great work.1 Last year’s lineup included Embroidered Worlds: Fantastic Fiction From Ukraine and the Diaspora, Rosalind’s Siblings, and Pluralities. Coming soon is work like Heretic, the conclusion of Gregory A. Wilson’s Gray Assassin trilogy, and a translation of The Factory, a novel by Igor Mysiak, who was killed in the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Independent presses like Atthis Arts do a lot with very little. Take them away and the literary space becomes much less varied and vital.

Atthis Arts is trying to get to $15,000 on a GoFundMe campaign. Check out the April Rally page for more information on other ways to help.

I’m personally grateful for the existence of Community of Magic Pens, a delightful anthology that gave me one of my first pro-rate sales. ↩︎
