[through gritted teeth] it was brave and correct of me to not use admin powers to buy the single copy before the store opened

for sure!! feel free to bundle stickers into price groups as well (as in, each "title" can be several stickers as long as they're all priced the same) if that makes it easier to submit!

if you only have vol 1 of a longer series you are totally free to submit that though, we don't require the complete set to be done or anything

shannon @mellific.bsky.social · 20/03/2026
oh hmm, so i would say only submit books/zines you can reasonably produce physical copies of in a few weeks? the process is basically: you apply -> we contact you and ask for 5-10 copies -> you mail or drop off the books -> we sell them in the shop! if that makes sense?

shannon @mellific.bsky.social · 20/03/2026
yes totally! submit whatever you're most excited about putting in a shop

a long stretch of an accordion book standing upright. light falls through window cutouts in the pages on to the napping cat, who does a little stretch then goes back to sleep.closed accordion book with a window cutoutfirst page of open accordion book. blue and orange window on the left, a cat napping in an armchair on the right
