Featured Publisher Profile: Cleis Press 

Felice Newman, Founder and Publisher of Cleis Press, was interviewed by RHYW. When asked: Are there one or two titles that you are particularly excited to see available in accessible editions, and why? Felice answered, "Of course The Ultimate Guide to Sex and Disability. And our erotica catalog—because people with disabilities are often treated like children who must be 'protected' from such terrible things as sexually-explicit literature. And our recent bestseller Living Life As a Thank You: The Transformative Power of Daily Gratitude—simply because I am personally in love with that book."

Featured Cleis Press Title:

Living Life As a Thank You by Nina Lesowitz and Mary Beth Sammons—The Transformative Power of Daily Gratitude
Whatever is given—even a difficult and challenging moment—is a gift. Living as if each day is a thank-you can help transform fear into courage, anger into forgiveness, isolation into belonging, and another's pain into healing. Will Glennon, author of Practice Random Acts of Kindness, praised that this book "can truly transform people's lives—our deep and abiding need to feel and live from a place of gratitude." Click here to learn more about the book.
