Congratulations! So thrilled for you—what an incredible milestone! WE ARE a force, and the world needs our voices now more than ever. I’m about to share a behind-the-scenes look at our small but mighty team, working around the clock to bring Empress Editions to life. From navigating new tariffs and global logistics to designing textiles for our endpapers and bookmarks, every challenge has been worth it. But the greatest joy? Every single submission we receive—it fuels our hope and reminds us why this work matters. Our business plan is fortified by a circle of strength, and my deepest wish is that we continue to build and sustain it together. So glad you are with us, Alicia! ❤️🔥👑🙏

Of course not! We are a reality show to be exploited and kicked off the ice floe.

Ghhaaaaagh, 😂 I know, but this is the place where you don't get kicked off the ice... this is the place where you get gently welcomed into the glurt and told you are RAD even if you don't feel that way right this second... :)

Go Alisa, this is amazing! You're a pioneer of literature we're so hungry for, so needed. So proud of you for doing this and excited to read your upcoming offerings. Thank you so much!

I am so glad you are with us! ❤️🔥👑 I feel like right now... at Empress Editions, we're this mad little factory of writing and ideas. Five chapters come in, they get edited, they get a second pass, and they go to copyediting, and on... Meanwhile, over in production, Cynthia is figuring out the best paper and ink and we are choosing textiles for the endpapers, and boxes of samples are arriving along with funny merch. All the while, new manuscripts come in. It is such joyful work.

Looks great. Congratulations - can’t wait to hear more. Reluctant to buy a t shirt off an anorexic-looking model though… Ai?

Expand full comment

Hahaha! You're so right! She's total AI from the printers. We need to take proper shots of the exhausted, not-so-anorexic team and post! Putting it on the list!
