Introducing Our Fall Catalog: Now Live on Kickstarter

2018 Atthis Arts Fall Catalog Kickstarter

We have a big announcement:
Our first Catalog campaign, using Kickstarter.

We’ve used crowdfunding over the years to help with the initial production costs needed to make the high-quality artistic products that we believe in. We’d still appreciate your help by pre-ordering these products. However, we have so many wonderful things coming out that we’ve decided to combine them – a big ol’ party and we’d love for you to join us. : )

Here’s how it works: Go to the campaign page and look through our upcoming titles at:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/atthisarts/atthis-arts-catalog-2018/

Follow the instructions there to select an author and reward level. (You won’t have to only pick one author, just pick one for now.) Then when the campaign is over, you’ll be able to add more titles by other authors (only if you’d like to, of course). We promise we are doing everything we can to make this easy and low-hassle for you.

We hope you’ll give all these great titles a look! The details are at the link, but it includes both adult-level speculative fiction (and ok for teens) as well as lower and upper middle grade fantasy (meaning great reads for elementary and middle school students).

Thank you so very much for your support. We know you don’t need to go out of your way to pre-order these titles, and we are very grateful for that support. We’re trying to make things happen for our small press so we can continue to publish unique, artistic writing and amplify important issues and voices—and this campaign is a big step in that process.

Thanks and please let us know if you have any questions!

Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

A commitment to diversity and inclusion are fundamental tenets at Atthis Arts, LLC. Our company is founded on the strength of an author’s individual voice and the strength of those diverse voices coloring artistic spaces.

As a company, we affirm our commitment to respect and support writers and readers of all genders, orientations, attractions, races, ethnicities, backgrounds, abilities, and bodies. We respect people of different religions and of no religion. We reject oppression and supremacy. We respect individual ethics, causes, politics, and viewpoints, except those promoting intolerance counter to our tenets.

In order to balance these ideals against the voice of the author, works that we publish may contain content that some find problematic. We continue to ask contributors to consider how their writing and messages may impact others. For our anthologies, we will do our best to enforce a “no harm” policy, rejecting content that is negative toward any of the above groups.

We are always interested in amplifying voices from underrepresented groups, and as a submitting author you are welcome to, but not asked to, let us know how that applies to your writing.

As for speciesism and non-human treatment, while the owner is a committed pro-intersectional vegan, she recognizes that other viewpoints and lifestyles are still in the mainstream of our global society, and so while content from E.D.E. Bell will be dedicated to these ideals as well as the reduction of leveraging violence for entertainment, we do not generally exclude content from contributing authors based on these issues.

If you have any questions or feedback, please contact us at atthis@atthisarts.com.

As Told By Things: Unique, Fun Anthology

Our anthology, As Told by Things, will be on Kickstarter in March. We hope you’ll stay tuned to order and enjoy this light, fun, and quirky collection of short stories and flash fiction told from the perspective of inanimate objects.

As of 1 March, As Told by Things submissions will be accepted for limited consideration through 14 March, 2018.

We are particularly interested in submissions based on calls for expanded representation, including writers of color and/or marginalized writing groups, but all writers are welcome to apply – just please understand this is a limited submission period and no more than a few additional entries will be accepted.

Thanks so much to everyone who submitted their stories. We value all your time and love and are sorry we could not take all of your submissions. We hope you’ll look for more calls and collections from Atthis Arts in the future.
