@chronohart And I will also look into getting these up on bookshop.org! I love what they do and want to support them.

@chronohart My plan is to transition to Ingram, which will allow local booksellers to order … if they want to.

In full transparency, selling through bookstores gets very complicated. They buy at a discount, and usually require that they be able to return stock they don’t sell, which means a very real possibility of losing money—this has put a lot of small publishers out of business.

All of that said: email me what you’re interested in and I’ll send it myself. I have no love for Amazon.

Now with the paperback!

Get it hard and in your hands ....

Also, a very special shout-out to @zero for his generous and excellent proofread! He did an amazing job--any remaining errors are entirely mine. (And there was a lot over which neither of us had much control.)

Yes, I’ve been very quiet for a long time. There are reasons for that. Most of them bad, some of them medical.

But I’m back, and Safeword Press has never been gone. Just a little dormant.

And now we’re here with a new publication: ASK LARRY.

For decades Larry Townsend was the man that the Leather community turned to for advice. This is the compilation of his selected columns between 1979 and 1992.

If you’ve ever had questions . . . he has answers.

Everyone loves a good ...

... release.

Buy paperback ... SOON.

Patience, boy--more to cum.

I am grateful for the support that has been offered, and I would like to take folks up on it. I have personally been slow to respond, which I regret deeply, but I hope to move forward and make the press stronger.

We're still here, and we're not going away. 💕

* a lot of gratitude
* books
* merch
* a crocheted collar (or wristband or armband)

... and probably more as I can think of it.

Everything the press makes is going back into the press right now. Down the road we may have employees/contractors, but we aren't quite there yet.

Safeword Press is turning to its next book and ... well, it's increasingly clear I need some help. Specifically, with:

* keeping up social media
* proofing/editing
* maintaining/updating the webpage
* sourcing merch

Please DM me here or email at [email protected].

What's in it for you?

@LondonLeathermen @bootblackcub Stephane was fabulous! I loved the story about his student who asked, er, difficult questions.

And SUPER sexy. Jesus, yes.
