A platform for bookish tastemakers
From exclusive content and book clubs to the collaborative publishing of entirely new voices, Bindery empowers tastemakers and their communities to elevate and celebrate stories that deserve to be read.
Hi Everyone!
It's been a long time since I've updated this, and for that, I apologize. Life has been LIFE-ing, but I'm excited to get back into updating this more frequently and showing you all what I am reading!
For those of you who follow me on Instagram@asreadbymerisha, you'll know that I have been supporting debut authors with my Margins to the Middle book club. It's been so great providing book tours for authors and hopefully providing more reach for their book babies. With that being said, I want to bring that community to Bindery. I'm rebranding Unbound Narratives to Margins to the Middle so that I can share the books we are reading with this community as well. To date, we've supported:
Adrienne Thurman - Don't Tell Me How It Ends
Heather Eng - Double Happiness
Haili Blassingame - They All Fall In Love at the End
Natalie Messier - Every Version of You
Jasmine Smith - Death Card
But don't worry! We have other debut authors lined up for this year and next, including a Bindery author that I will introduce for this month's book club!
So continue to follow along as I build this community. I'm so happy you all are here and can't wait to see how this grows!
Hello my friends!
I wanted to drop in a bonus newsletter to give everyone the link to view the playback of our most recent Beyond The Rainbow chat with Dr. Kiki Fehling (They/She). We truly had a blast discussing everything from mental health to nonfiction book recommendations.
As always, please don't give out this link, as it's just for you as subscribers. Curious for the books we discussed? Here are the one's Dr. Kiki Fehling dropped:
A Queer Dharma by Jacoby Ballard
The Wisdom Of Your Body by Hillary L. McBride
Seahorses by Simon Knaphus
Every Step She Takes by Alison Cochrun
When you watch the playback, forgive my rapid speech, I was truly geeked to be in discussion with them and had a blast nerding out about mental health, books and the queer community as a whole.
While I have you, remember we will be in discussion with Anita Kelly (they/them) for our reschedule July Beyond The Rainbow chat, Friday, September 11th from 6-7pm CST.
I will drop the zoom link in here next Thursday in our Trans Joy Thursday newsletter. There is also an event created with the zoom link information on our Discord if you haven't made your way over there yet, in addition to a channel dedication to eat chat where you can suggest questions for me to ask every author I interview.
I hope you all have an amazing extended holiday weekend. I will catch you on Sunday for our September Shenanigans, Week 2 newsletter. Until then friends, happy Friday!
With all my trans joy,
Sawyer Cole
