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.

    Blandrea's review of Pluralities

    5/5: I’m not even sure how to write about this. “good” “well written” and “I liked this” don’t seem to even get close. Sometimes you come across a writing style that just…. Feels familiar on first read. This is beautiful, and messy, and clear and vague and familiar and foreign all at the same time. (this mess of expression is the reason I read books, and don’t write them) Grappling with their own identity, in a society where SHE stamps are worn by women, the narrator talks through how the stamp doesn’t feel like it fits, but if not, what’s the alternative? There’s a parallel sci fi narrative ta...

    Thank you, Judy! This review is such music to our ears! "...every word sounds carefully chosen and arranged. I found myself pausing my reading frequently to reread passages again, because they were just that good." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5690906389 #Pluralities
    Judy's review of Pluralities

    5/5: This book stands out amongst ACRs for me. It feels polished, and every word sounds carefully chosen and arranged. I found myself pausing my reading frequently to reread passages again, because they were just that good. So many enormous metaphors that leave your brain swirling at the end of chapters. I loved it. And of course, I can’t forget to mention the delightful sarcastic humor. The dual storyline was also super entertaining. Personally I love when a book follows two intertwining narratives, especially if each character’s voice is distinctive, and this nailed it! Thanks to netgalley...

    The emotions of seeing our book *and* cover on the actual Lambda Literary Review blog, after all we've fought for, pushed for, given up - as a press, are...complex, and predominantly buoyant. Avi, you're a damn star. 🏳️‍⚧️

    Totally no big deal here in my little Ferndale porch office with my Taddie 🐈‍⬛ and a slow rain, but oh, an @atthisarts book is one of the Lambda Literary Review's most anticipated books of October, with, you know, our cover featured. ⚰️
