Book*hug Press 2024 Subscription Packages
Book*hug Press 2024 Subscription Packages
Book*hug Press is delighted to announce the return of our annual subscription packages. This year marks our twentieth anniversary of adventures in literary publishing, and we’re beyond grateful to our community of readers and followers who’ve joined us over the years. We’ve long coined ourselves a radically optimistic press, and we genuinely believe a healthy dose of radical optimism is required to be an independent publisher operating in a marketplace that prioritizes big, commercial bestsellers.
Whether you are a longtime follower or are new to the press, our discounted subscription packages are a great way to support what we’re doing. Your subscription not only nourishes your book-loving heart but also plays an essential role in supporting a small, independently owned and operated publisher.
Become a subscriber today! Choose from four subscription packages, available in either print or eBook options: the 2024 Fiction Subscription, the 2024 Poetry Subscription, the 2024 Translated Literature Subscription, and the 2024 Annual Subscription (aka the whole kit and kaboodle package). Read on for all the details!
