Questions You Never Asked, But We’re Answering Anyway
What ages are these books for?
Ages 3 and up, and also anyone under 99. Not 67-year-olds though. And come to think of it, over 99 is fine too, with child supervision. Eh, 2-year-olds might get a chuckle out of some of them. Six-month-olds… not so much. Though they may enjoy the pictures and drool on them, which we fully endorse.
Is Tailstring Press a real publisher, or just a cat with a laptop?
Both. Nathan runs the business side, but Huxley the cat does the editing, naps on manuscripts, and occasionally rejects entire chapters with one disdainful tail flick.
Where can I buy your books?
Anywhere fine books are sold. Amazon, independent bookstores (via IngramSpark), and possibly at garage sales when your relatives are done with them.
Do you accept submissions?
Only if they arrive via carrier pigeon wearing a bowler hat. Bonus points if the pigeon brings snacks. Otherwise, we’re booked solid.
Why don’t you have an “Add to Cart” button?
Because our books don’t like to be carted. They prefer to be adopted. That’s why you’ll see “Buy on Amazon” or “Order from Bookstores” buttons instead.
What’s next for Tailstring Press?
More whimsy, more tails, and probably another case for Fabulous Flamingo, Detective Extraordinaire. Also, Huxley insists on publishing his memoirs, but we’re still negotiating the tuna royalties.
Who writes all this stuff?
Nathan Gopen is the human with the keyboard. Ellie (his friendly AI assistant) occasionally chimes in. Huxley claims to be the true author, but lacks opposable thumbs to prove it.
