Looking Forward to 2022
It’s been busy around here this fall, like, really busy—we wish there were more hours in the week! The fall semester is more than halfway through, though, and we’re seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. As we look forward to the end of the semester, to loading the final grades into our gradebooks, we also look forward to getting back to a consistent video upload schedule.
For the new year, though, we’re excited to get back our roots. What’s that mean, you ask? Thanks for asking; I’ll tell you! When we started 1134 Press all the way back in 2017, our focus was publishing books. We started off with my first full book of fiction, Gestalt. Over the following years we made a couple comic books, Bree’s first book, Those Who Fly, and our most popular title, For Us: A Self Care Journal for Mamas by Bri Mobly. Since then, we’ve been primarily focused on the YouTube channel and our other online content (this blog, 1134 Comix, various social media, etc.). In short, we’ll be publishing some new books.
And never fear, nothing else is changing here. Videos, blog posts, the newsletter, even 1134 Comix, will all continue as per usual. The new books will all be in line with the 1134 Press channel content. So, expect these upcoming publications to focus on bookmaking, junk journaling, and reflective writing. If you were hoping for more fiction, sorry. We do not have any plans to publish any fiction in the near future (but who knows what we might publish further down the line).
I haven’t given much detail here about these future publications. Though we have some solid plans, there are some aspects to this project yet to be fully hashed out. That said, I think it’s safe to give a couple more details. First, expect that there will be more than one new publication. Also, expect that there will be both print and digital options. Some of these new publications will be digital only, while some will have print options. Also note that we will be starting this off in 2022; we plan for these publications to continue into future years and some of what we have planned will not drop until 2023 most likely.
Look out for updates as we get closer to our first 2022 publication. In the meantime, checkout a playlist on the channel. Or, if you happen to have a dark sense of humor, check out the latest 1134 Comic.
