Left-wing press is celebrating 25 years of publishing books on social and economic justice

Inspired by a 19th-century Chesapeake Bay legend, Casey Cep and Kathryn Schulz, two journalists who are staff writers at the 'New Yorker,' have written a picture book about felines in peril, 'Black Cat Island.'

Even after 35 years in print, 'On the Day You Were Born' by Debra Frasier, released by Harcourt Children’s Books in 1991, resonates with readers to such an extent that Beach Lane Books is releasing a new edition on September 15.

Selections focus on themes of home, family, and identity.

Latasha Eley Kelly, the co-owner of Left on Read bookstore in Topeka, Kan. is leading the efforts of Black booksellers across the U.S. to celebrate the inaugural Black Bookstore Day on Saturday, August 29.

¡Viva! Los Libros, which was founded in 2020 by Nina Sánchez, is expanding this fall beyond bookselling into book publishing.

NAIBA’s second executive director officially took the helm on August 4, during the organization’s annual membership meeting at the New Voices New Rooms conference.

Lit Circle, a digital platform aimed at connecting consumers with bookstores hosting authors and other literary programming, is currently available in Chicago and, as of today, Philadelphia.

A highlight of New Voices New Rooms, the collaboration between the New Atlantic Indie Booksellers Association and Southern Indie Booksellers Alliance, was the Children's Luncheon Panel.

The joint trade show continued with NAIBA and SIBA booksellers checking out publishers’ latest offerings and lauding outgoing NAIBA executive director Eileen Dengler for her decades of service.
