🥒 YOU’LL NEVER ESCAPE PICKLE BOOKS!

💭 what the heck is a pickle book?
thanks for asking! it’s something i made up. pickle books are books that leave you with a sour aftertaste - but in a positive way. those books that stick with you, haunt you a bit, change you for the better, or just really make you think. this is the latest in a long series of pickle book recommendation videos i’ve given.

📚 books mentioned:
- Enter Ghost by Isabella Hammad
- Fledgling by Octavia E. Butler
- We Have Reached the End of Our Show by Ali Gordon
- How to Commit a Postcolonial Murder by Nina McConigley

👗💄:
- jumpsuit is from Hutch, rented from Nuuly
- eyeshadow is Lord of the Rings Middle Earth Palette from Glamlite
- eyeliner is Epiphany Glow Melt-On from Kaleidos
- hair gems are from Hally Hair
- (also if you have a question about my makeup or something i’m wearing, most of it is curated in my shopmy!)

thank you to Ali Gordon and Pantheon for the gifted copies!

🥒 YOU’LL NEVER ESCAPE PICKLE BOOKS!

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

Steph

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!

Reading is better in community, and I’m grateful to welcome you to mine! I’ve been a content creator most of my life & an avid reader my entire life. Celestial is our home base to celebrate imaginative stories from galaxy-wide voices. (Think: fantasy, horror, sci-fi, magical realism & beyond.) I love being playful with my recommendations, but I always read with intention – this is a discerning and deliberately diverse space. Join my chaotic community … and let’s have fun while uplifting all voices.
