Notes on Anti-Capitalist Solidarity

Publishing now: A Working Class Guide to Making a Living Off Small and Self Publishing is an 18,000-word/34-chapter guide about Be Oakley's journey to making their small press (GenderFail) a full-time job. The 3rd edition features a complete redesign and re-editing of the entire book with new notes to reflect the 10th anniversary of running the press. As artists and writers, we aren’t taught anything about finding ways to make a living, even for those of us who have undergraduate and graduate degrees. I worked hard and found a way to make a living from my publishing platform, GenderFail, and in this publication, I share how I made that happen with no business or mainstream publishing experience. This is the professional practice or guide I wish I had when I started.
