Celestial

i had a doubly delicious penguin random house week! @randomhouse 

first, I celebrated the launch of The Last Ferry Out (a sapphic tropical island murder mystery of my dreams) at @esquinanyc! there were yummy drinks, polaroids, lots of friends, and a goodie bag filled with a lot of in-book winks! 

then, kyle and I had SUCH a fun time heading to the PRH offices for their Eat & Greet! this was a cook book event, so there were lots of yummy snacks, a signature drink, and two panels to get to know the authors a bit better.

we genuinely love cooking, so we’re so excited to test out these recipes. plus I got to take home a GORGEOUS brand new special edition of The Fall of the House of Usher!

Hi friend! I’m Steph – let’s devour some otherworldly stories together.

During this phase, we're reviewing manuscripts and deciding which book we want to publish. At the end of this phase, we offer an author a book deal.

Consideration

As the manuscript goes through several phases of editorial work, the cover and interior design takes place, while format decisions about paper stocks and printing treatments are made.

Editorial & Design

While the books are on press, the pre-order links go live and the marketing campaign ramps up with waves of review copy mailings to media and influencers.

Pre-order

The finished copies have released on the book's publication date. Go give it some love!
