help me publish BIPOC & marginalized authors 💖 making space for BIPOC authors in an industry built to publish more of the Same Thing™️

If you’ve been a reader for any amount of time you’ve probably noticed that one thing traditional publishing loves as an industry is jumping on a trend or publishing ten more books of the recent viral commercial hit. And to a certain extent, they can’t be solely blamed—publishing is a business, and when readers are putting their time and money behind more of the same narratives, it’s no wonder that we’re in the situation we’re in.

If you haven’t read Tajja Isen’s piece in The Walrus titled, “The Publishing Industry Has a Gambling Problem” then go read it now. It gives wonderful background on the industry but also into the insidious way that “track” works in the industry and how publishing companies choose which books to publish based on the previous “track” record of the author. Now when you combine that with the concept of “comps” (or “comparative titles”), where publishing companies project the sales of a book and retailers buy stock of a book based on a comparative title—i.e. some other book that has been published in the past few years that is similar to the book you’re trying to sell-in/publish, and which hopefully has good “track” (i.e. sales track)—you get a situation where you can only recycle more of the same stories.1

And when you’re a BIPOC or marginalized author—or even someone trying something original and new with the books you write—this is basically the start of a long arduous journey where everyone else gets to walk in the well-worn path while you’re forced to claw your way through the forest without any view of the other side.

This is why I think the work I do with my micro-publishing imprint, Boundless Press via Bindery Books, is so important.

support my imprint 💖

Ever since I announced the Anti Brain Rot Reading Challenge, there have been so many new people who have joined my Bindery community and discord, and you may be wondering:

  1. what is Bindery?

  2. what is Boundless Press?

Bindery is Patreon-esque paid membership platform for bookish content creators like myself where we can share extra & exclusive content with our viewers. But not only that, some of the “tastemakers” like myself on the platform, also have their own micro-publishing imprints.2

Bindery partners with the tastemaker to design their imprint brand, solicit submissions, and manage editorial, design, printing, publicity, and distribution to everywhere books are sold.

Publishing with Bindery offers several advantages for authors: a strong royalty structure; quality editorial, design, marketing, and trade distribution; a tastemakers’ marketing muscle and promotional efforts on behalf of each book; and a built in community of readers. In an age where authors are expected to be both writers and marketers of their work, Bindery allows authors to focus on what they do best: creating the stories that move us all.

With my imprint, Boundless Press, I’m able to publish books from authors who have been overlooked by the traditional publishing industry and give them a space and spotlight to get their stories out into the world.

But I can’t do it without your support. Bindery’s publishing model allows for tastemakers to publish books with the support of our communities to offset some of the very real costs of putting a book out there in the world (from editorial costs, to layout, project management, printing, etc). And without your support I will eventually be forced to pander to the same systemic issues of the industry and publish more of what’s commercial and “on trend” to keep my imprint going and still provide a great royalty structure for my authors.

help me publish BIPOC authors

For the cost of ONE latte each month—you can support me and Boundless Press and help me publish incredible BIPOC and marginalized authors who deserve to have their stories out there in the world. You will be helping me change the industry in a way that we’ve never seen before.

And you won’t just be supporting my imprint, you’ll also be getting exclusive behind-the-scenes content about the publishing process for all of the Boundless Press titles. This includes: author interviews, behind-the-scenes on the editorial/cover art/marketing process, getting to vote on which books we publish, cover design, and so much more. AND you’ll be getting digital or physical ADVANCED READER COPIES3 of the books we publish—that means early access to read these stories before they even publish ⭐️

Membership tiers!

Currently, the Boundless Press community is at just under 100 paid members and I’d like to hit the goal of 500 paid members to offset the cost of production to be able to publish 1 book a year that I (and you as a member) think deserves to be out there in the world regardless of trends or what publishing thinks will sell.

Vote for the November book club pick ❄️

Friends! Enemies! Everyone in between!

It's time to vote for the January (2026?!?!?!) book club pick. I asked the Bindery Discord channel (a private channel if you're a free follower or paid member to Bindery, which if you're receiving this... you are lol) for some suggestions and this is where we landed. I like to keep Sunny's picks as new hardcover releases to account for the $30 book club sign up fee, so new releases are usually the focus.

Rippling with humor, warmth, and style, Lost Lambs is a new vision of the charms and pitfalls of family dysfunction.

The Flynn family is coming undone. Catherine and Bud's open marriage has reached its breaking point as their daughters spiral in their own chaotic orbits: Abigail, the eldest, is dating a man in his twenties nicknamed War Crime Wes; Louise, the middle child, maintains a secret correspondence with an online terrorist; the brilliant youngest, Harper, is being sent to wilderness reform camp due to her insistence that someone―or something―is monitoring the town’s citizens.

Casting a shadow across their lives, and their small coastal town, is Paul Alabaster, a billionaire shipping magnate. Rumors of corruption circulate, but no one dares dig too deep. No one except Harper, whose obsession with a mysterious shipping container sends the family hurtling into a criminal conspiracy―one that may just bring them closer together.

Irreverent and addictive, pinging between the voices of the Flynn family and those of the panorama of characters around them, Madeline Cash’s Lost Lambs is a debut novel of quick-witted observation and surprising tenderness. With it, Cash has crafted a family saga for the twenty-first century, all held together with crazy glue.

One woman, the performance of a lifetime. Or two. An exhilarating, destabilizing Möbius strip of a novel that asks whether we ever really know the people we love.

Two people meet for lunch in a Manhattan restaurant. She’s an accomplished actress in rehearsals for an upcoming premiere. He’s attractive, troubling, young—young enough to be her son. Who is he to her, and who is she to him? In this compulsively readable, brilliantly constructed novel, two competing narratives unspool, rewriting our understanding of the roles we play every day – partner, parent, creator, muse – and the truths every performance masks, especially from those who think they know us most intimately.

Taut and hypnotic, Audition is Katie Kitamura at her virtuosic best.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Writers & Lovers comes a magnificent and intimate new novel of desire, friendship, and the lasting impact of first love

You knew I’d write a book about you someday.

Our narrator understands good love stories—their secrets and subtext, their highs and free falls. But her greatest love story, the one she lived, never followed the simple rules.

In the fall of her senior year of college, she meets two star students from her 17th-Century Lit class: Sam and Yash. Best friends living off campus in the elegant house of a professor on sabbatical, the boys invite her into their intoxicating world of academic fervor, rapid-fire banter and raucous card games. They nickname her Jordan, and she quickly discovers the pleasures of friendship, love and her own intellectual ambition. But youthful passion is unpredictable, and soon she finds herself at the center of a charged and intricate triangle. As graduation comes and goes, choices made will alter these three lives forever.

Decades later, the vulnerable days of Jordan's youth seem comfortably behind her. But when a surprise visit and unexpected news bring the past crashing into the present, she returns to a world she left behind and must confront the decisions and deceptions of her younger self.

Written with the superb wit and emotional sensitivity fans and critics of Lily King have come to adore, Heart the Lover is a deeply moving love story that celebrates literature, forgiveness, and the transformative bonds that shape our lives. Wise, unforgettable, and with a delightful connective thread to Writers & Lovers, this is King at her very best, affirming her as a masterful chronicler of the human experience and one of the finest novelists at work today.

From “the shrewdest writer on contemporary masculinity we have” (Esquire), a “captivating...hypnotic...virtuosic” (The Baffler) novel about a man whose life veers off course due to a series of unforeseen circumstances.

Teenaged István lives with his mother in a quiet apartment complex in Hungary. Shy and new in town, he is a stranger to the social rituals practiced by his classmates and is soon isolated, drawn instead into a series of events that leave him forever a stranger to peers, his mother, and himself. In the years that follow, István is born along by the goodwill, or self-interest, of strangers, charting a rocky yet upward trajectory that lands him further from his childhood, and the defining events that abruptly ended it, than he could possibly have imagined.

A collection of intimate moments over the course of decades, Flesh chronicles a man at odds with himself—estranged from and by the circumstances and demands of a life not entirely under his control and the roles that he is asked to play. Shadowed by the specter of past tragedy and the apathy of modernity, the tension between István and all that alienates him hurtles forward until sudden tragedy again throws life as he knows it in jeopardy.

“Spare and detached on the page, lush in resonance beyond it” (NPR), Flesh traces the imperceptible but indelible contours of unresolved trauma and its aftermath amid the precarity and violence of an ever-globalizing Europe with incisive insight, unyielding pathos, and startling humanity.

Four very compelling choices! Happy voting and remember we are reading The House of Beauty by Arabelle Sicardi in December.

why the goodreads choice awards are unbearably straight & white—and what you can do to help marginalized authors

image

every year around november the goodreads choice awards nominees are announced and every year the online book community is outraged by the lack of diversity1 within the picks, by the trend based changes to categories, and by the arbitrary way that books are slotted into “genre” categories where they clearly do not fit.

most readers are aware that the nominees are based off reader scores on the platform like star ratings and number of “shelves,” and the quickest and easiest argument people turn to is that goodreads is bad and racist and owned by Amazon, and that everyone should move to Storygraph because it’s Black-owned.

but things aren’t quite that simple. especially if you’re actually interested in fighting for diversity in traditionally published books and supporting marginalized authors.

goodreads demographics

first, let’s talk about the platform’s demographics and stats. much of the following is pulled from the brilliant article on Book Riot called “The Unbearable Whiteness of the Goodreads Choice Awards” by Kelly Jensen and I highly recommend you go give it a full read because it has further insights that I won’t be covering fully.

the stats breakdown

  • Amazon bought Goodreads in 2013 when it was at roughly 16 million users

  • Goodreads now has over 150 million users, and roughly 6.2 million users voted in the 2024 Goodreads Choice Awards

  • 48% of users are in the United States

  • United Kingdom (7%), Canada (6%), Australia (4%), India (3%)

  • ~60% of users identify as female

  • ~30% of all users are between the ages of 25 and 34

  • ~21% of all users are between the ages of 18 and 24

  • ~18% of all users are between the ages of 35 and 44

  • “Goodreads users are 77% Caucasian, 9% Hispanic, 7% African American, 6% Asian, and 1% other. In other words, just over 7.5 out of every 10 users on the site are white. In 2022, the United States as a whole had roughly 59% of its population identified as white.” (Book Riot, Jensen, 2025)

from these stats we can glean some very clear conclusions—(1) the awards are so extremely American focused because the nearly half of the user base is from the U.S. and therefore is likely reading books published and marketed in the U.S. (2) with a 77% Caucasian user base, it is no wonder that the most popular titles on the platform are by white authors and that the stats on the platform work in the favour of white authors when it comes down to the choice awards.

these stats are also fairly reflective of the publishing industry itself as evidenced by the below stats from the Lee and Low Diversity Baseline Survey 3.0, where 72.5% of the publishing industry is made up of White/Caucasian employees.

image

Lee and Low Diversity Baseline Survey 3.0

now, despite this—the goodreads choice awards have had a fluctuating number of authors of colour honoured year-to-year. the most notable spikes are of course 2017-2018 and 2020 when protests and political movement around race in the U.S. was at a high. 2017 was the year of the Charlottesville Unite the Right rally and it was also the year The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas was published. 2020 was the year of performatively buying antiracism books in the U.S. spurred by the murder of George Floyd, and the surge in Black Lives Matter protests.

In other words, when white readers aren’t motivated by guilt and performative activism, they default to their regular reading habit of picking up mostly books by white authors.

Book Riot, “The Unbearable Whiteness of the Goodreads Choice Awards”

storygraph isn’t quite the solution you think

now the argument that we should all move to Storygraph is a fairly weak one—first, because the stats on Storygraph tell a similar story to that of goodreads users’ behaviour.

In her Patreon article “The Goodreads awards are our imperfect reflection,” Silvia Moreno-Garcia outlines how in many cases, if Storygraph were to have similar awards based on user scores, the books by white authors would still win. The common denominator being that reader/user scores and behaviour on these platforms still systemically favours white authors.

the argument in favour of storygraph is also based on the idea of a fairly simplistic boycott—”if we leave goodreads and go to something seemingly more ethical then problem solved!” actually, problem not solved.

Storygraph is built more like a personal reading tracking app versus a social platform the way goodreads is built. on goodreads, many readers discover new books simply by coming across other people’s activity on the platform.

but even beyond that, since its inception goodreads has uniquely positioned itself as a tool for publishers to market their books to a dedicated audience of readers without any other noise. it’s very simply at its core a social platform for readers. and for publishers, who are already aiming at a niche target audience, having something like goodreads is huge.

the chokehold goodreads has on the publishing industry

it’s no surprise then that publishers place far too much weight on how a title performs on the platform to discern its success in the real world. much like how publishers like to look at preorders as an indicator of the success of a book prior to its release, they also look at the number of “want-to-read shelves” on goodreads. it’s the perfect piece of data that publishers can use in sales meetings and pitches to prove interest in a book. it helps them sell more copies into retailers, and allows them to go for bigger print runs.

in recent years, goodreads has also upped it’s editorial game with frequent round up recommendation articles much like any other media outlet. it has also implemented several advertising possibilities on the platform. publishers can pay for banner ad placements or sponsored feed posts. they can pay to run giveaways on the platform which always include a requirement to add a book to your “want-to-read” shelf, and can often sky-rocket a book into popularity on the platform.

and i’ve had people argue with me that they’ve never paid attention to these aspects of the platform—and to that i say, just because it didn’t work on you doesn’t mean it didn’t work on thousands of other people.

i remember when I worked in publishing as a marketer several years back, my senior colleagues often talked about how they used to have so many options for advertising in print and online media. however, now with dwindling traditional media industry in this economy, goodreads remains one of the few places to reach readers directly with extremely low effort.

let’s not abandon marginalized authors on the biggest tool of the industry

all of this context brings me to the point that regardless of your views on goodreads, i do encourage you to look at it from a strategic point of view to support marginalized authors…. at least, for now.

BIPOC authors still receive absolute garbage ratings and reviews from white readers on goodreads and on retailer sites. when the publishing industry is looking to this platform to determine the success of a book, and when that platform is overwhelmingly white and systemically set up against BIPOC and marginalized authors, then we are doing marginalized authors a disservice by not showing up on the platform to support them and counteract the systemic racism within the industry at large.

these days i track my reading in my own personal notion database that i created that no one gets to see but me. however, i do go on goodreads every few weeks and add books by marginalized authors to my want-to-read shelves, and leave honest reviews.

because ultimately, the system is rigged against BIPOC and marginalized authors and any little bit we can do to support them in this industry is huge.

we can still push for better

i do believe in the idealistic value of decentering goodreads within the industry and separating ourselves from Amazon. however, in practice abandoning goodreads is a slippery slope much like how abandoning twitter ultimately did irretrievable harm to marginalized authors’ careers and connections. i want to believe we can build a better alternative that can fulfill the same functions that goodreads does today. there are in fact several on the rise like Storygraph, Fable, and Pagebound (to name a few).

however, i also believe that we can ask for more from goodreads in the meantime.

beyond just being aware of our behaviours as users on goodreads, i also think we can push against things like the choice awards. yes, the nominees are based on user data but the categories and methodology are still created by actual humans.

just the other day goodreads posted a reel on their instagram of their editorial team who “analyzes” the reader data on the platform to create the choice awards. there are real humans behind the creation of these awards and they can be swayed and pushed to do better.

award criteria can always be changed. methodologies for choosing nominees can always be changed. using the excuse of “they go by what’s popular” is simply a fatalist take. we can ask for better than lumping all of nonfiction into two categories, we can ask for better than having absolutely zero childrens’ categories, we can ask for better than have the same author repeated 3 times in the same category.

at the end of the day, i think how you approach this problem is entirely up to you and how you see change, but i hope that you reconsider the ramifications of our actions on marginalized authors’ careers.


aaaand if you’ve made it this far, then please consider supporting my small independent publishing imprint, Boundless Press, by preordering our second book — BURN THE SEA by Mona Tewari, which is the first in a fantasy duology following the life of one of India’s historical queens as she goes up against the colonizing snake monsters known as the Porcugi. It’s ultimately a story of incredible women who refuse to bow to their oppressors and I cannot wait for it to be out April 2026. ❤️

⚙️The Tinkerers Book Club Kit

⚙️The Tinkerers Book Club Discussion Guide

🌟Key Themes for Discussion

The Nature of Mistakes: Peter desperately wants to use the not-a-clock to erase his mistakes. How does the novel redefine what a mistake is? Does the story suggest that some mistakes are necessary for growth?

The Magic of Stargazers Valley: The magical aurora the Skeins and the starstuff are central to the story. What does the starstuff symbolize? Why is its power regulated only to the astromancers, and how does this regulation relate to the Tinkerers' desire for free invention?

Invention vs. Academics: Discuss the difference between the Tinkerers' practical, messy, and secretive approach to invention versus the Imperial College's formal, controlled astromancy. Which method does the book seem to favor, and why?

Family and Friendship: Peter's family and his friendship with the Tinkerers are crucial. How does his acceptance of these relationships help him gain self-confidence, even before he accepts the list of his mistakes?

Dealing with Fear and Authority: The Outbounder Task Force maintains order through strict rules and stealth. How do fear and authority both external (OTF) and internal Peter's list of mistakes shape the characters' actions?

💬Specific Questions

The Not-A-Clock: The device can only turn back time for a few minutes. Why is this specific limitation important to the story? How would the plot change if the clock could reverse years instead of minutes?

The Power of Narrative: Peter keeps a literal list of his ten worst mistakes. How does the act of listing, categorizing, and obsessing over these moments impact his ability to live and invent?

The Tinkerers Kitt and Jonas: What makes them appealing to Peter? How do their personalities reflect the freedom and chaos of true invention?

The Role of the Inn: Peter’s Inn is a place where people and starstuff land. How does the setting of the inn contrast with the Imperial College, and what does it represent for Peter?

🌠Themed Refreshments

🌌The Drink: The Skeins Sparkling Cosmos

A visually stunning, fizzy drink inspired by the magical, flowing aurora in the Stargazers Valley sky.

Ingredients

▫️Blue Butterfly Pea Flower Tea brewed and chilled: Provides a natural blue base that changes color with acid.

▫️Lemonade or Lime Juice: The acid needed for the color change.

▫️Ginger Ale or Sparkling Water: Adds the necessary fizz.

▫️Edible Glitter or Silver Sprinkles: To mimic starstuff floating in the wake of the Skeins.

▫️Assembly: Fill glasses with ice. Add a shot of lemon juice/lemonade. Pour the butterfly pea tea over the top and it should turn from blue to purple/pink. Top with sparkling water and a pinch of edible glitter.

🍪The Snack: Starstuff Sugar Cookies: Simple cookies that look like the flaky, wispy starstuff mentioned in the book.

Ingredients

▫️Simple sugar cookie dough, white icing, and flaked coconut.

▫️Assembly: Bake classic round sugar cookies. Once cool, spread a thin layer of white icing. While the icing is still wet, sprinkle the cookies heavily with flaked coconut.

▫️Why it Fits: The coconut flakes mimic the fluff from a seed pod description of the starstuff.

🛠️Themed Activities

My Top Ten Mistakes: This activity is a direct, fun take on Peter's flaw.

▫️Activity: Have members write down their Top Three Tiniest, Most Insignificant Mistakes from the past week! Example: Put the milk in the cupboard! Then, prompt them to write one small, positive thing that resulted from that mistake. Example: which meant I had to open the fridge again and found the leftover cake.

▫️Tie-in: It encourages the group to see mistakes as neutral events that sometimes lead to unexpected good outcomes, mirroring the novel's central lesson.

The Tinkerers' Workshop Challenge: A simple, silly challenge to tap into the improvisational spirit of the Tinkerers.

▫️Setup: Give each member or small team a handful of random, simple supplies e.g. paper clips, rubber bands, straws, tape, sticky notes.

▫️Challenge: Give them 5 minutes to invent a "not-a-device" designed to solve a mundane problem e.g. a not-a-cup for holding only crumbs, or a not-a-shoe for walking on clouds.

▫️Tie-in: This celebrates the fun, messy, and impractical side of invention.

✨Themed Door Prizes: The door prizes should encourage curiosity and creativity.

📝Tinkerers' Journal: A blank, sturdy notebook, preferably with a leather or canvas cover and a good quality pen.

▫️Why it Fits: For recording ideas, inventions, and hopefully not a list of mistakes!

🔭Mini Telescope or Star Chart: A small, simple, portable telescope, or a folding pocket star chart.

▫️Why it Fits: A direct connection to the astromancers and the Stargazers Valley setting.

✨️Imperial College Approval Stamp: A fun, simple rubber stamp that says "APPROVED" or "BRILLIANT IDEA" to encourage their future creativity and self-confidence.

▫️Why it Fits: It humorously subverts the strict authority of the Imperial College and the OTF.

⚙️The Page Ladies Book Club Review of The Tinkerers by Caroline Carlson

Our book club just finished The Tinkerers by Caroline Carlson and let me tell you we spent half the meeting laughing, half gasping, and the other half yes, math is optional in Stargazers Valley wishing we had our own not-a-clock to undo a few questionable life choices.

Caroline Carlson has created the coziest, quirkiest fantasy world, full of glowing auroras, mischievous starstuff, and enough chaotic energy to make even a time-loop feel charming. And at the heart of it all is Peter, a kid who has made a few mistakes. Okay, ten. And honestly? The list is iconic. Stepping on a star-eating newt? Boots eaten by falcons? I would simply pass away from embarrassment.

The moment Peter discovers that the two Tinkerers he escorted to his family’s inn aren’t harmless astromancers-in-training but rogue inventors with a very illegal time-bending gizmo well, we all knew things were about to get deliciously messy. And oh, they do.

Watching Peter use the not-a-clock to fix his mistakes and then watching those fixes spiral in increasingly hilarious and heartfelt ways turned out to be the perfect reminder of every book club member’s favorite truth: sometimes the things we wish we could erase are exactly the things that lead us where we need to be.

Between the outlaw astromancers, the glowing skeins of magical light, the swooping falcons rude, and Peter’s gentle journey toward confidence, this story is warm, whimsical, and quietly wise. It’s the kind of book that feels like sipping hot cocoa under a sky full of impossible stars.

✨Final verdict: Charming, clever, and full of wonder. Perfect for fans of cozy fantasy, found family feelings, and time-twisty hijinks that make you question every tiny moment you’ve ever labeled a mistake.
