Hooray for Independent Pagan Publishing!
We just got a copy of Written in Wine: A Devotional Anthology for Dionysos by Bibliotheca Alexandrina. I am absolutely delighted to see so many people doing devotionals and other print-on-demand/small-run Pagan books. One of the biggest gripes you hear in the Pagan community is the lack of advanced/specialized books, but the publishers are limited by market forces. They can't publish a book that is only going to sell a thousand copies. But now, with the easy availability of print-on-demand presses like Lulu and Create Space, people can stop with the moaning about how evil Llewellyn is and put out the information they think needs to be out there. Be the change you wish to see in the world, right? Raven and I are putting together a workshop for Free Spirit on how to put out your own POD books. Heck, if you've got $10 and something to say, you can be on Amazon.
Anyway, I just want to say people like Laure Lynch and the Neos Alexandria folks and Timothy Jay Alexander give me so much faith that Pagans and Recons of all types can build something real and share it with the world. I've been sparkling all day over this.
I was wondering if folks could comment here or otherwise contact me about other Pagan print-on-demand publishers/authors, because I'd love to put a listing of them up on our website.
