During A SmokeLong Summer 24 we can’t wait to work with the following publishers to bring the best flash collections and craft books to our participants at excellent discounts. This list is growing!
At the heart of A SmokeLong Summer is the 2-month intensive workshop, but this year we are also focusing on and celebrating small, independent publishers. We’ve spent the last month interviewing them, and what lovely people they are.
Your donation helps writers, editors, reviewers, workshop leaders, and artists get paid for their work. If you’re enjoying what you read here, please consider donating to SmokeLong Quarterly today. We also give a portion of what we earn to the organizations on our "We Support" page.
