The Invisible Orientation

[swankivy]

Hi all! Some of you may remember that I announced a book deal last year. Well, things are moving along pretty well and I thought I'd stop by and update y'all on the status.

The book's title has been changed to THE INVISIBLE ORIENTATION: An Introduction to AsexualityIt will come out September 2, 2014 from Skyhorse Publishing/Carrel Books

I had actually zip to do with the cover. I didn't know anyone was even working on it until I saw it on the Internet and I was not consulted. Yay publishing

Some people might be a little put off by any triangle imagery since some people feel it's appropriative, but yeah, I don't think they were going for symbolic. That said, I think at least some of the people at my publisher have some clue what's going on; shortly after making an offer, the editor said it would be great if we could release it in September so it would be available for Asexual Awareness Week, and I hadn't said anything about AAW in my materials, so she was paying attention. :)

How awesome! I'll check if Ingram, the supplier my bookstore gets our books from, will have copies.

I imagine Ingram will stock. (I was a bookseller for six years--I know what they are.) We will be distributing through Perseus and it is already available on the Barnes and Noble site and some other sites.

I like the cover: it's very simple and clean.

I'm super excited for this book to come out--I'll definitely pre-order as soon as I find out what my come-September address will be!

Thanks for the support and I'm glad you like it!

Very excited for your book! I plan to preorder one once I'm graduated and working - so I'll actually know where I'll be living at the time of release to have the book shipped to.
