Front cover of Words Describing Fire by E.D.E. Bell, now on NetGallay. Includes three review quotes. 1. “Naked, brutal, messy in all the greatest ways. Filled with humor and humility, pain and passion, wisdom and wiliness. A portrait of a powerful soul bursting beautifully at the seams.” —Marsalis Higgs, author of Brother Goose. 2. “Starts with the deeply personal and then expands outwards into more overly social and political topics without ever losing sight of the ways in which those larger scale issues feel. The language lens into a more simple lyricism, and intersperses that with sharp call to the anger brought forth by a world lacking basic justice.” —Reviewer D. 3. "Humour, anger, empathy and love, always written unapologetically, make it to these pages of E.D.E. Bell's Words Describing Fire proving that just like fire, it can warm but if it burns, it's you needing to self-reflect." —Dr. Zukiswa Wanner, author of Flotilla: A Journey of Conscience

A harrowing extrapolation of today’s societal trends. This story hit me on a visceral level, as the plight of new mother Panya resonated with my own slough through early motherhood. Author emma burnett lays bare an all-too-plausible future—and shows that, even in an entrenched corporatocracy, hope can still sprout in the margins. —Myna Chang, author of The Potential of Radio and Rain; image shows surreal depiction of a repetitive interior. Ex Partum by emma burnett, sci-fi novella, coming June 2026, Atthis Arts, Detroit Michigan

An illustration of broadly reaching trees in a variety of dark tones, a starry sky, and a glowing moon, Text: woodlands, Ulla Thynell, Kickstarter Project We Love, 500 followers!
Ex Partum is a near-present science fiction novella that charts an unsettling course for the future, a quiet dystopia that emma burnett sketches with suffocating intensity. In prose that favors gripping immediacy and kinetic flow, burnett tells a story of the future that is so believable that it feels, at times, mundane, rather than extraordinary – a masterful sleight of hand to bring this future closer to the present. —E.G. Condé, author of Sordidez; image shows surreal depiction of a repetitive interior. Ex Partum by emma burnett, sci-fi novella, coming June 2026, Atthis Arts, Detroit Michigan

Hornytown Chutzpah knows exactly when to hit the comedy beats and when to become more serious. And it knows when to hit you in the heart and soul. - Paul Weimer, Multi Hugo Award winning genre writer
Ex Partum is *Phenomenal*. Couldn't put it down. Neither words nor scenes are wasted in this tight, touching narrative. The world she's created is so close we can hear its breath—and that is this story's frightening, compelling beauty. —Michelle A. Chikaonda, award-winning writer; image shows surreal depiction of a repetitive interior. Ex Partum by emma burnett, sci-fi novella, coming June 2026, Atthis Arts, Detroit Michigan

5⭐ (with chutzpah!) I. Loved. This. Book. 100% recommend on audio. Andrew Hiller plays it straight and slips in just enough of a wink to let you in on the joke. Perfection! This book is hilarious. Incredible. The humor is sharp and charming, with some genuinely strong political commentary woven in as well. The worldbuilding is rich and inventive, and I’d love to spend more time in it. But even if Hiller never returns to this universe, I’ll be watching for whatever he does next. A wildly charming read. Librarian Hone Kansas City, Missouri

Statement in Opposition to H.R. 7661 The freedom to speak and to read is a fundamental principle of the United States of America. That is why we have joined together — parents, students, educators, library workers, authors, free expression advocates, booksellers, and publishers — to stand in support of our nation’s school-aged children and teens and in opposition to H.R. 7661. H.R. 7661, if passed, will compel nationwide book censorship. It confuses obscenity with identity and stigmatizes vulnerable young people, particularly trans children and teens, based on who they are. It will continue to drain funding from our already underfunded schools and libraries. And it will threaten the creativity and critical thinking that are vital to education in the U.S.
Stretch Goals! we have: digital and audio at all levels, at $3600 we add: local, higher quality printing, Matthew Spencer coloring sheet - adorable little bot, Dream the Deep / Dream the Light on Kickstarter, all over gay little sea scene.
