I’m feeling a lot of things today, I’m sure you are too. I just wanted to acknowledge it 🫶🏻

Checking In, Holding Space

Hi ghouls, I’m Natalie Meagan, artist and reviewer of weird books/media. Welcome to my boneyard picnic, where we can sit and enjoy stories that appeal to both our morbid nature and our heartstrings. 

Boneyard Picnic

**Consideration** means reviewing manuscripts and deciding which book we want to publish. At the end of this phase, we offer an author a book deal.

Consideration

**Editorial** has several phases, which occur on a parallel track with early cover designs.

Editorial

**Design** includes the cover process and interior layout, as well as format decisions like paper stocks and special treatments.

Design

**Printing** means the final files are at the printer and we’re reviewing color proofs and early off copies hot off the press.

Printing

**Published** is when the book releases into the world! Go give it some love.

Natalie

My name is Natalie Meagan and I am an artist, reviewer of books (Weirdo Book Club), occasional gamer and lover of all things weird and wonderful. From a young age, I reached for art, books and media as a source of comfort but once the internet came into play, I found community through those things as well. Reading is one of my favorite solitary activities but it is also a lot of fun to share it with others and that is what I hope to do here with you!

I first read about the concept of cemetery picnics in an article about the weird history of American cemeteries. Apparently, before there were local or city parks, people would break bread with the dead and have their lunch on the peaceful, often beautiful grounds of the local cemeteries. What seemed morbid and strange to some was fascinating to me and I knew it was the perfect concept for this page, the books I hope to share with you and the vibes I hope to create!
