Introducing the Fall 2026 book subscription

Like a farm share, but for books!

It’s spring, and everything is finally blooming, and we are planting the seeds of our fall collection. Ok, that’s a bit cheesy. But: publishing, like farming, involves a lot of expenses way before the book is available for sale, even in a lean, limited-risk model. And since we like to borrow good practices from other industries . . .

we’re launching our own version of a farm share.

Purchase a subscription to our fall collection, and you’ll magically (well, it will seem like magic then) receive the paperback and ebook formats of each book when it comes out. AND, the first 100 people who make this purchase will also get access to extra author content—an author video and a signed letter. For each book.

Farm shares are called Community Supported Agriculture, and so this is community supported publishing, and YOU are a big part of our community. This is our version of pre-orders, except you get some extra special goodies, too.

Here are our fantastic fall titles:

September: THE ENDED WORLD, by Libbie Grant

A young woman’s vision over a Quebec lake sends her on a search to understand her relationship to the divine. While she spends years as a cloistered nun, a young boy struggles with his Mormon upbringing and, discovering the internet, grows up to design an AI entity that stuns him by appearing sentient. Embarking on their own separate road trips, these characters unite to face the scope of their responsibilities, their understanding of what’s holy, and the very question of what it is to be a human being.

This book will blow your mind. As Bruce Holsinger, NYT bestselling author of CULPABILITY (an Oprah’s Book Club pick) says:

THE ENDED WORLD is a dazzling work of imagination, a sweeping intergenerational parable of belief, selfhood, and love in the epoch of artificial intelligence. A medieval saint, a lapsed Mormon, a sentient and rogue AI: Libbie Grant has created a wondrous story of human and technological change that I will be thinking about for years to come.

This novel is steeped in philosophy, theology, and technology. To say it is timely is an understatement.

October: ALICE SEES GHOSTS, by Daisy Rockwell

Alice Bloodshaw's grandmother lies dying in their crumbling ancestral home. Family relationships are fraught, and worsened by the mercurial behavior of Alice's mother. Then Alice, eccentric and attuned to the supernatural, is haunted by the specter of her grandfather. His cryptic message sends Alice and her Bengali psychiatrist fiancé, practical-minded Ronit, on a journey from New England to India and back again to unearth the long-buried truths that have choked and tormented the family. Only by untangling the past and confronting the effects of aristocracy, secrecy, and colonialism can Alice begin to mend family ties and stop living as a ghost herself to build a new, solid future.

Daisy Rockwell is the recipient of a Booker Prize for translation from Hindi, and yes, she’s part of the Norman Rockwell family. She writes with clarity and wit and depth. ALICE SEES GHOSTS is set partly in Daisy’s childhood town of Stockbridge in Western Massachusetts, and partly in the Himalayan foothills.

November: I’LL LOOK MYSELF IN THE EYES, by Rim Battal, translated by Liza Tripp

Our first translation!

I’ll Look Myself in the Eyes, an autobiographical novel, tells the story of 17-year-old Rim, who is caught smoking out her window in her home in Marrakesh. This minor transgression unleashes a disproportionate response from her mother, who flies into a rage and beats her. Rim flees to her aunt’s house, where she soon learns her mother will only allow her to return if she completes a gynecological test certifying her virginity. So begins an incredibly nuanced journey into the tangled web of a patriarchal society in which various generations of women seem to complicitly preserve the status quo. Ultimately, it is Rim who breaks the cycle of dysfunction, rebels against tradition, confronts betrayal from the women closest to her (who were supposed to protect her), and dares to be her true self.

Rim Battal is a well-loved poet and author in Morocco and France. Her voice is sincere, beautiful, and funny. The original French text, Je me regarderai dans les yeux, recently won the coveted 2025 prix de la littérature arabe des lycéens (a national Arab literature prize, awarded by the toughest critics of all—teens) and was a finalist for the main Arab literature prize in France.
