We don’t stand still while we wait for the Joy//Us crowdfund to mature (like a bond, or a fine cheese…)
The wonderful Muireann has proofed the book, and raised a few minor inconsistencies in punctuation and a misused word, not much really, and corrections have been made.
We’ve chosen the quote to go on the postcards that our sales partners are producing for us. JP Seabright‘s Short Back and Sides:
Joy upon joy upon relief and release upon joy
at finding someone who understands.
the holy therapeutic hair wash, the brush down, the placing
of your life, your look, your history and identity
into another’s careful hands.
Off the back of this, we are doing a photoshoot with JP in a barbers, details to be confirmed.
I’ve written an opinion piece for Diva Magazine, about International Day against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT), and fighting hate with joy, because nothing annoys a hater more than us being happy. That will be in the issue that will be out around the same time as we are due to publish. It’s helped me hone my thinking on what the blurb should say!
