Sapph-Lit MAY 2025 Fiction Poll!

Nina Haines

During this phase, we're reviewing manuscripts and deciding which book we want to publish. At the end of this phase, we offer an author a book deal.

Consideration

As the manuscript goes through several phases of editorial work, the cover and interior design takes place, while format decisions about paper stocks and printing treatments are made.

Editorial & Design

While the books are on press, the pre-order links go live and the marketing campaign ramps up with waves of review copy mailings to media and influencers.

Pre-order

The finished copies have released on the book's publication date. Go give it some love!

Nina

Hi there! I’m Nina and I’m a freelance marketer, content creator, and writer currently working on her debut novel. I’m also the founder of Sapph-Lit, a sapphic book club & safe space where sapphic women and non-binary folks can read queer books, chat about life, ask for and offer support & celebrate their identities. Founded in May 2021, Sapph-Lit has grown to over 8,000 members from all around the world, and I’m so excited to join Bindery and expand Sapph-Lit into a community forward sapphic romance publishing imprint. Join us to help our mission of prioritizing sapphic representation in literature!
