On this International Literacy Day, as the entire reading world is threatened by an onslaught of AI slop and the replacement of sentences with aggregated robot turds, please remember that literacy is fundamental to the health of the human spirit. Ideas conveyed by ink on a page, bound with glue, staple, or twine. These are things worth celebrating, and fighting for.

Books written by humans are “a premium product,” they say - and they’re right! archive.is/gmYE4 Now imagine books written by amazingly skilled authors, edited by world-class editors, and mailed direct to your home. Thats @PanamericaBooks countyhighway.com/book-club

Today, we publish MIDWESTERN DEATH TRIP, by @meaghan_garvey. It's a brilliant, haunting, raucous debut, part coming-of-age memoir and part 1940s film noir jail-break, from one of our greatest cultural critics working today. Get it here: countyhighway.com/panamerica…

The Kirkus Star is awarded to only about 3% of indie press books reviewed. Didn't stop Sabrina Hicks from snagging one for COYOTE GIRL. Well earned and much deserved. And they're not lying. "A stunning collection of short fiction." -Kirkus Reviews cowboyjamboreemagazine.com/c…

It is with the heaviest of hearts that Cowboy Jamboree has learned of the passing of Sheldon Lee Compton last night. We know how many of you knew him & loved his work. He was a talent like no other. We're heartbroken for Sheldon and his kin. He was a giant. He will be missed.
