Thank you to everyone who has made a recent purchase from our Bandcamp shop. We have now posted our final orders of 2025. The shop will remain open during the festive period, and any orders received during this time will be posted in January 2026.

Stuck for a last-minute gift? There’s still ample time to take out a gift Steady membership for a loved one. We have recently put a lot of time and love into overhauling our paid membership offering. Available perks include monthly bonus interviews with authors of our Books of the Month, discounted event tickets, and a perpetual discount in our Bandcamp shop, with an additional bonus written feature launching in January. New members will be provided with instant access to all our existing bonus content — including interviews with authors Christina Riley, Hollie Starling and Nicola Chester. How it works:

– Gift memberships will begin immediately, on the day of purchase

– An email will be sent to the recipient informing them about their new gift from you, and how to access it (with no price listed)

– We even have a printable voucher, if you’d like something physical to put under the tree

– The gift membership will not auto-renew

As an independent publication, memberships are vitally important to us, allowing us to cover writer fees and other costs without implementing ads or paywalls on the main site or newsletter. Help us keep doing what we do by taking out a gift membership here (or a standard membership here if you’re treating yourself) — no wrapping paper necessary!
