Publishing Now: GenderFails Working Class Guide to Making a Living Off Small Publishing is a 18,000 words/35 Chapters book about my journey running GenderFail.
We aren’t taught anything about actually finding ways to make a living being an artist from art school. It’s bullshit especially when you think about the debt working class and low-income are getting into for the off chance of making their dreams a reality. I found a way to make a living off my publishing platform GenderFail and in this publication I share how I think that happened. This is the professional practices or guide I wish I had when I first started out.
With GenderFail I didn’t have any funding when I started and over the 7 years of the project I have found a way to make the work I want while also paying my bills.

Publishing now: GenderFail’s working class guide to making a living off self publishing Reviews
-
A much needed work for anyone interested in zines, small presses, and independent publishing. I learned so much, and I know I’m going to reread parts of this zine again as I continue my journey as an artist :-)
-
Beautifully made, insightful, honest, and encouraging to anyone who want to find a way of working outside of mainstream systems.
-
GenderFail has been such an inspiration to me! Accessible, clear, and filled to the brim with knowledge that is so often gatekept.
A must read for anyone interested in small- and self-publishing. -
I don't think the book was half bad, but I am a little thrown off by the style of the book. Even though I know it was intentional. It's just not my thing. Good overall advice of just doing it.
