In this episode, we dive into the world of indie publishing with special guests Naomi, Michael, and Marines. The discussion covers the motivation behind starting imprints with Bindery (a startup publisher that partners with large-scale social media tastemakers to lead their own publishing imprints), the importance of promoting underrepresented voices, and the challenges of traditional publishing. Each guest shares insights on their specific imprints, including Boozhoo Books, Mareas, and Left Unread Books, and highlights upcoming titles they are excited about. The conversation also explores the significance of supporting indie authors, the necessity of active engagement in the literary community, and how storytelling can drive social change. Tune in to discover how you can make a positive impact in the book world and support voices that need to be heard.00:00 Welcome to Liberation is Lit Podcast00:26 Meet the Influencers: Naomi and Michael00:50 The Journey to Bindery04:18 Championing Diverse Voices07:31 Supporting Indie Publishing14:19 Staying Motivated in the Literary World18:36 Current Reads and Recommendations21:53 Final Thoughts and Where to Find UsBindery Imprintshttps://boozhoo.binderybooks.com/https://leftunreadbooks.binderybooks.com/https://mareas.binderybooks.com/Books Mentioned in the EpisodeCry, Voidbringer by Elaine HoOrange Wine by Esperanza Hope SnyderLove Be Damned by Briana GarrettFirekeeper's Daughter by Angeline BoulleyWarrior Girl Unearthed by Angeline BoulleySisters in the Wind by Angeline BoulleyThe Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World by Robin Wall KimmererWhere to find the TastemakersMarinesInstagramTikTokYoutubeThreadsMichaelTikTokInstagramThreadsNaomiInstagramTikTokThreadsThank you for being part of the Liberation is Lit podcast!
