Hey, we're really cooking here. New projects from Sophia Turner and Ember Moth in the works for late this year and into next. 🔮
Nearly 24,000 words in on the sci-fi novel, so I'm hoping to release this early 2027. Perhaps in time for my birthday? Editing another project. Finalising something we'll put out in a few months. And 1/2 way through a super secret Prismata project that will surprise you! Hehehehehe!!!

What's a quote from Mara that has stood out to you? Get a copy here and let us know: prismata-press.itch.io/mara
“She pulled at them from deep within, like a songbird singing for her mate. An ocean invisible to human eyes sang back to her, its waves and pulses a vibration on the solar winds.” (And I’m sure there’s a Gwenoth banger of a line I’m forgetting too)

It definitely aims high and I think that's what makes this such an amazing book. There's no easy answers here because its all of this and more.
It's also desperate and personal. It's sweaty and lusty. It's a story about survival, told in a way that should (hopefully!) pull you in and take you on a journey. It aims high, and I love it for that reason. If you're curious, there are sample chapters available here: prismata-press.itch.io/mara

- Majordomo by @tbcart.bsky.social because I heard so many good things from SFINCS judges! Additionally, I also got The Stars Will Be Our Ocean by @lizzieblackwood.bsky.social because omg first contact alien romance AAAnd I got Mara by @sophiajt.com on itch...which is not even in this sale but 👀👀
Thanks for reading! Love to hear this!
We're now reading MARA, by @sophiajt.com It reads like an old, heady pulp serial, with it's stark, efficient language, lofty science fiction setting, and avant garde formatting. It took us a little while to get into it, but it's seriously enthralling. It feels both breathless & breathful. Love it.
Just in case you were worried the two people who run Prismata Press take themselves too seriously... youtube.com/shorts/tw4Q5...

#SummerOfStories 28 I recently finished Machines of Consent by @sophiajt.com (audiobook w/ @autumnwolff.bsky.social ) I'm currently almost done with Gideon the 9th (Locked Tomb series) And I have way too much on my TBR 😅 Shout out to Hoopla and Libby. I mainly read from the library!

Mara is a space opera about messy characters in an oppressive universe. Inspired in equal parts by the corrosive influence of genAI, the Buddhist concepts of reality, psychic powers, trans autonomy, and anarchist ideals, it's a both a page turning ride and a very personal encouragement to survive.
Thank you so much for reviewing our next book, "Mara". Reviews mean so much to authors! We appreciate it. 📚 prismata-press.itch.io/mara www.amazon.com/dp/B0H62FSYL8 #trans #lesbian #queerlit #scifi #spaceopera #booksky
#booksky 📚💙 📚🪐 📚🌈 Mara was a page turner from literally the very first page. A compelling story set in space about the intersection of religion and politics and how far people are willing to go to keep the status quo in both. Truly excellent and I can't recommend it enough!

As an author this is *big*, and something I hope folks do (and not just because I'm in this position myself) Your first book is so much of a learning experience. And perhaps also your first major public feedback. You absorb and grow, and then jump into your second book determined. At least I did 😅
I know I've said this before but the thing I love the most about reading is reading an author's 1st book and having some complaints, but deciding to stick w/ it. But then reading their 2nd book and finding that you cannot remember what one of those complaints were because book 2 is just so good. 1/
We've been cheeky about what Mara IS NOT, so what IS Mara? At its heart, Mara is about the struggle against oppression (internal, local, and galactic) with messy, flawed characters. Relatably human, even with an android messiah at its center! Both epic and heartfelt. prismata-press.itch.io/mara

I’m only a quarter way through my arc of this book but I’m already ✨obsessed✨ holy shit
When I try to explain Mara, it goes something like this: Imagine Dune. Now imagine it wasn't a homophobic, misogynistic male power fantasy racist hero's journey about using native people to regain a throne. So... nothing like Dune. Mara: Dune, but nothing like Dune. prismata-press.itch.io/mara
