It came to our attention that our very own, Katrina Kwan’s upcoming Knives, Seasoning, and a Dash of Love was seemingly included in said “review bombing” … we didn’t know what to say or if we should address it upon the screenshots being shared, but some thoughtful readers…

Hello!🧵
We see a lot of new names here.
If you didn't look us up--let us quickly give an intro.
We are a small indie press.
We turned 1-year-old this summer.
LCP is a Latinx Woman-owned company.
Any authors we consider receive a full contract to review well before signing.
We've kept you waiting long enough...
🚨AUTHOR ANNOUCEMENT🚨
We've secured a deal for

PLAYING FOR KEEPS, a witty, grumpy/sunshine contemporary romance coming in 2023!
We are thrilled to add Tristen to our literary family and have another

⚾️BOOK DEAL ANNOUNCEMENT⚾️
From a galaxy not so far away—we’d like to welcome
@JBridgesWrites
to the team!
We’ve thrilled to share we’ve signed SLIDING INTO LOVE, a baseball romcom with:
grumpy/sunshine
dirty jokes
literal sacks of balls
romance
Oh, and started as
#reylo
fanfic
While LCP is not an agency, we are a small, indie press, and we wanted to let authors know we allow for mistakes in the query process. It's a learning curve.
We also understand how hard querying is--how much waiting and uncertainty an author must endure to hopefully get to that…
Can we take a moment to appreciate Lake Country Press? They are filthy Reylos and not ashamed of saying it.
I have never experienced such validation from any of the fandoms I've been in the last 15 years, especially shipping ones.
Say what you will about fandoms, fanfics, and reylos, but when we emerged as a new press into the big community of authors and reylos who shared our passion to see these books be published—they supported us. They shared their spaces so willingly and cheered our books and authors.…
🚨We’ve kept you all waiting long enough🚨
Introducing newly signed—
UNDER LOCKE & KEY 🔐, from the author who brought you Playing for Keeps 🎲 and the forthcoming, I Think Olive You 🫒
@TristenWrites
✨
Is it reylo coded? Oh, you know it.
We are thrilled for you to meet them!
After an interesting author chat, we now have a question for you all…
Did you ever have an animated crush and if so, WHO?!
Was it Disney or something else…
Show us with a gif.
We’d love a giggle 🤭
**ours wasn’t Thumper fyi 😂
We aren’t sure who needs to hear this, but fanfic is amazing! It’s such a wonderful creative outlet.
That said, when it comes to publishing works(for sale) you don’t want to use characters, plots, images, names that are licensed. If they resemble licensed characters a little…
Who wants to know a secret?
Because we have a whopper.
We may, or may not have some… ✨art✨ for a cover coming from the incredibly talented and occasionally spice

Hi, LCP here,
We want to say—we believe in authors. We believe in books—Self-published, Trad published, Indie published… we don’t care what avenue you’ve taken.
You’re valid✨

We are floored by the number of queries we received today as well.
Thank you, authors💕✨

Morning all!
What an evening we had yesterday.
We spent hours on the phone and computer working to get Amazon to help us.
As some of you may see--Knives, Seasoning, and a Dash of Love by Katrina Kwan is essentially shadow-banned unless you adjust your FILTER to BOOKS on the…
As a small press comprised predominantly of women, we are sad, we are tired, and we are angry.
We will remain a safe space for women’s and all marginalized voices.

This may be a hot take, but here goes.
🧵
Please do not blame authors or writers when a small press or agent does something shady.
Yes, research, keep your eyes open for little red flags, but be aware anyone can still be led astray…
Querying writers jump a lot of hoops,
Hi, hi!
Good morning from our office.
We want to give a shout out and thank you for the query response we are receiving.
Our inbox is--what's that cool phrase?
POPPIN' OFF!
We are flattered beyond belief. We will definitely need time to sort through what's coming, but we are…
So…
You all know we dabble in reylo things.
Today we’ll be giving all kinds of sneak peeks, announcements, teasers from our set of reylo authors🖤
Stay tuned. And May the 4th Be With You✨
If there are a few things we can offer in the whole chat about the publishing industry it's these:
Traditional publishing is valid.
Small, indie house publishing is valid.
Self-publishing is valid.
None of these routes are easy.
They take time, patience, and lots of…
Well, we mentioned a
✨new book & author✨

and FACES ON FRENCHMEN STREET🪅
We can’t wait to bring Sadie & Cole to readers. This story captured our heart with its family dynamics, expressions of grief, and love✨
Thank you for your support of Katrina Kwan and Knives, Seasoning, and a Dash of Love, which comes out next week.
As a small press—it means so much to have you all behind Katrina and her book✨😭💕
In light of the Cait Corrain scandal, I think it's important that we band together in support of the targeted authors. I've seen lists of their names, but I want to make it as easy as possible for people, so here is a thread with links!
If I forgot anyone, please let me know!
Okay, okay. We accidentally didn't tell the truth👀
We didn't sign just one bookish thing...
We signed TWO.
But riddle us this--that two equals THREE.
Yeah, that's right, we fancy ourselves the Riddler right now.
