You’ve read this far, made it through the front page, the (unforgivably long-winded) Why We Exist, the Submissions page (if you’re a writer), so why not go a little further? Soon, we’ll have books for you to buy…but until then, we need your help.

Here’s what you can do:

1. Spread the word. Become a fan of Replacement Press on Facebook and invite all your friends to do the same, blog about Replacement Press, or just mention Replacement Press the next time you’re talking to someone. Tell your friends, your enemies, your old college roommates, your book club, your professors, your students, that guy on the train who’s always reading a novel, whoever.

2. Sign up to learn more. Become a follower of our blog, find us on Facebook—or, if you’d like to receive updates via email, email the subject line “Subscribe” to newsletter@replacementpress.com.

3. If you’re a writer, write something. This may be a good time to get started on that novel you’ve always been wanting to write, or to finish the manuscript that’s been collecting dust in your desk drawer. And then, send it to us! (But do read our submission guidelines first.)

4. Add your voice to this conversation. Over the next few months, we’re going to be thinking out loud about the future of literary fiction and the voices of the next generation—and we need you to talk back. Join a discussion on our Facebook page, post a comment on our blog, or email us your thoughts.
