TMR Fundraiser for Palestine
We’ve noticed a marked absence of books by Palestinian authors and/or books about Palestine through our regular pitches from publishers. As a result, we’d like to do a direct callout for Palestinian books to review, as well as for our other features such as interviews, excerpts, and “Why I Wrote This Book” features.

So we will be donating 100% of donations through the ko-fi button on our website to GoFundMe’s supporting civilians.
