19.01.2022 We’re changing the way we chat with you! We’ve been doing some work behind the scenes at Debut Books to build a better way of communicating with you. We’re going to be focusing on the content we share via our newsletter (soon to be newsletters) and we’re giving our subscribers the opportunity to choose what content you’d like to receive from us. Instead of one big email with all the things we like to talk about, we’re breaking up th...e content into more bite-sized chunks for you to devour in your own time. Going forward, there will be three monthly newsletters and a prompt for those who are interested in submitting to Debut Books. The breakdown looks like this: Activism + Diversity: This monthly newsletter is all about the big topics with a focus on amplifying different conversations from all kinds of people. Author Submissions: For those who are interested in submitting to Debut Books, this one is for you! We're setting up reminders that will come to you on Submission Day (and a gentle nudge two days before). General News: This monthly newsletter will be filled with all the juicy bits - be the first to find out about new arrivals, sales, exclusive offers, giveaways and upcoming events. Publishing + Writing: This monthly email is for anyone who loves to read, write and has an interest in publishing. We will be filling this newsletter with bookish chat, writing tips, industry advice and insight, plus sneaky peaks behind the scenes at Debut Books! There are some really exciting plans in motion and we look forward to sharing everything with you! Existing subscribers will receive an email today to update their preferences. Not a subscriber yet? Follow the link in our bio to join the conversation! The first newsletter goes out on Wednesday - we can’t wait! See more

07.01.2022 SUBMISSIONS ARE OPEN! We apologise for the lateness of our submissions opening. In all of the excitement with the first orders of Mirror, Mirror being received, and Vitamin A to Z being announced, we completely forgot #Oops December submissions are open from the 14th to the 20th.

05.01.2022 Vitamin K = Kindness In a world where ‘kindness’ is often confused with ‘nice’, how many of us prioritise the comfort of others, with a focus on being liked and accepted? ... Fiona says, ‘Demands for ‘nice’ are rooted in oppressive structures where specific people - such as people who identify as female and anyone who has been marginalised or whose experiences have been devalued - are expected to ‘play along’ or ‘smile’ or ‘be nice’ to please someone else or avoid making others uncomfortable.’ ‘Sometimes kindness is comfortable and sometimes its not, but prioritises doing what’s right/ best (for us, or others, even just for now) over what’s easy or comfortable.’ Being kind towards ourselves requires being able to recognise and accept our own pain and suffering, with a willingness to turn towards ourselves gently, in the same way we would for someone we care for. And that, is an act of courage #DBVitaminAtoZ #FionaSutherland #DBMiniCollection . #MindfulDietitian #HealthAtEverySize #WeightInclusive #HAES #AllBodies #AntiDiet #AntiDietCulture #AllBodiesMatter #NonDietDietitian #IntuitiveEating #MindfulEating #FoodFreedom #NonDietApproach #IWeigh #AllBodiesAreGoodBodies #SelfCompassion #ChooseKindness #Kindness #CoverReveal #Preorder #DebutBooks #WeChangeTheStory #WeNeedDiverseBooks #SmallPublisher #ReadLocal #RepresentationMatters #FullyBooked

05.01.2022 Who else needs to hear this? This gem came from @untrapped_au during her conversation with @themindfuldietitian about Vitamin A to Z.

02.01.2022 Remember the Pozible writer packages? They're here to stay! Since the campaign, Katherine and Amy have been working with the emerging writers who purchased a manuscript assessment or an ‘Ask Me Anything' session. They’re absolutely loving it!... The Australian publishing market is small and highly competitive and investing in yourself and your writing - to the best of your ability will go a long way in setting you up for future success. Have you reached a point with your manuscript where you don’t know what comes next? Or perhaps you have a list of questions about how to pave your path to publication (or a career in publishing)? Debut Books is offering you an exclusive opportunity to purchase our writer packages, enabling you to spend time with the Publisher AND the Editor at Debut Books. Usually, a manuscript assessment is with an editor, alone. These packages are designed to provide the writer with two valuable perspectives on their piece with twice the insight, support and motivation! The ‘Ask Me Anything’ sessions are designed to answer any questions you might have about the publishing process, possible pathways to publication (or careers) or general publishing advice. These conversations will be shaped by you and everything you want to know! @secretbookstuff #WritingWithDebutBooks #AskMeAnything #ManuscriptAssessment #StructuralEdit #CreativeWriting #WritingClass #AusWriters #AustralianWriters #AustralianAuthor #EmergingWriter #YoungWriters #AussieWriter #AussieWriters #AustralianAuthors #DebutBooks #WeChangeTheStory #LoveOzYA #YALiterature #YALovin #AusLit #AusBookstagram #AmWriting #IndiePublisher #SmallPublisher #AussieBooks #AussieBook #YALit #AussieBookstagrammer #AussieBookstagram #SecretBookStuff

02.01.2022 Introducing Fiona Sutherland! I came across Fiona on Instagram many moons ago and found her content and messaging to be accessible, impactful and most importantly, it hit me hard in the feels. I knew that Vitamin A to Z was going to be a powerful book and this was cemented during the proofreading stage. I was meant to be looking for spelling mistakes and incorrect punctuation but instead, Fi’s words were so impactful that I forgot what I was meant to be doing, and saw just ...how much personal work I still have to do. Breaking away from the constant messaging about diet culture takes time. It is not a straight line journey but a tangled one, a worthy one. I am so proud of Vitamin A to Z and you can read more about it from Fi below: I’ve listened to literally thousands of people’s experiences with food, eating and their body during my 20-year career. I spent my early years being a ‘good dietitian’, dutifully performing what I thought and was led to believe through my lived experience and training was the ‘right’ thing to be doing: writing out meal plans and enthusiastically supporting people with personal goals, including dietary restriction for weight loss. It was only when I really paid attention to the deep, visceral pain embedded in people’s experiences with food, eating and their bodies, really listened, that I had a minor #existentialcrisis and realised, in fact, not only was I probably not helping people, I could possibly be harming them. Cue the ‘huh?’ emoji, a dreadful shame spiral, and more than a few WTFs. In Vitamin A to Z, we step through some of the most important foundational concepts which can support us to identify where we’re getting stuck, and steps we can take to get unstuck and move into courageous living, as we and are bodies are at any one point in time. This is a no-BS read; there’s nothing magical or quick-fix-y here, just real talk and regular opportunities to pause, reflect and more deeply understand how we might take steps to extricate ourselves from diet culture in ways which feel personally meaningful. Vitamin A to Zis publishing on 1 February 2021 and we cannot wait to share it with you! Link to blog post in bio!
