NWP – Year-End Update & Thank You! – December 30, 2017 In case you’re not checking email during the holiday, I’m posting a year-end update below–the email that just went out to NWP members.

My first blog post ever, and on Christmas Day. At first I thought this to be incongruous, but then I realized it makes perfect sense: the message of Christmas and the mission of Nasty Woman Press are in perfect harmony. I will apologize in advance if this ends up sounding a little like a sermon: […]
