We’re well into those extra six more weeks of winter with the promise of spring fast approaching: it’s March!

February 2023
And just like that it’s February! The first month of 2023 is officially in the books. Speaking of, we hope your New Year’s Resolution to read more books (because what else would it be?) is off to a successful—or maybe just steady—start. There’s a lot out there, and more being published every day. It’s easy to get overwhelmed and simply go for the first book you see. While this isn’t poor practice, we encourage you to search more widely and be sure to incorporate titles by Black authors in honor of February’s Black History Month. In this month’s newsletter we’ve got some 3RP titles written by incredible Black writers and a line up of some IG Live interviews with some of those very same authors coming up this month.

December 2016
The turmoil of the recent U.S. election is reflective of a global trend that increasingly threatens the arts—particularly literary arts. It is literature that puts abstract ideas into words, providing visions of societies in which equality for all is an achievable goal and a necessity. It is literature that offers validity to expanded—often controversial—ideas of what it is to be human, acknowledging the wide variety of individuals that make up society, and how each holds an important place in the social construct. It is literature that exposes oppression and deceit, that upholds the flame of human decency and says it must not be extinguished. In an effort to protect literary freedom, Three Rooms Press will donate $1 for every book purchased on our website in the month of December to support PEN America’s #loudertogether campaign. Thank you for your support.
