Two new poly books out today

The best thing to happen to poly book publishing since Janet Hardy's Greenery Press (which brought out her Ethical Slut in 1997) is Eve Rickert and Franklin Veaux's Thorntree Press. They founded it in 2013 to publish their hit More Than Two after established publishers weren't willing to do it right. They use crowdfunding for capital, based on their reputation, and our donations have returned good value indeed for building and deepening the polyamory movement.

Today is the publication date for their next two books: the revised and improved second edition of The Husband Swap: A true story of unconventional love, Louisa Leontiades's tumultuous cautionary tale of the quad that brought her to poly, and its new companion e-book Lessons in Love and Life to My Younger Self: A Companion Guide to The Husband Swap. (There's an interview with Leontiades today on the website of The Independent in the U.K.)

They want publicity help today. This is from an email they sent to the 368 supporters of their 2015 Indiegogo campaign:

● They've issued a call for proposals for their 2016 and 2017 book offerings.

Eve notes,

We're not just a poly publisher! We're publishing other titles that approach sex, relationships, BDSM, etc., from a non-mainstream and rational perspective. In spring 2016 we'll be publishing our first non-poly-specific book, a BDSM memoir by Emily Bingham. We're hoping to expand our list to include a wider diversity of titles in the future.
