Really good/sad @Berkeleyside story on @spdbooks which is critical distributor for small presses. Closing the Berkeley warehouse is the end of an era. But SPD will rent space elsewhere. Small Press Distribution is closing its West Berkeley warehouse berkeleyside.org/2023/03/30/…

White "allies" in publishing, if you're REALLY about that life, you've got to get ready to have some real uncomfortable convos about how much you've been paid for your books.
