Who is publishing my books? Me, of course! As an indie author, I opted to create an LLC to manage my publishing and book ventures. As of now, this is a Cozy-only venture, but I'll announce via my newsletter and social media if I ever expand.
I recognize that while I am technically a marginalized author being queer, trans, and neurodivergent, I benefit from many privileges, such as my whiteness, higher education, and housing stability. As such, I am committed to donating 25% of the profits from all of my books. None of the beneficiary organizations are in any way affiliated with me (Cozy DuBois), Heartwood Forest Publishing, or the books, but simply organizations that I selected.
The Confession series features several characters who experienced housing instability, so the beneficiary is Avenues for Youth, an organization that partners with youth experiencing homelessness in Hennepin County to achieve their dreams.
Petty Roots is part of Bi The Way, I Love You, which benefits two amazing organizations: Rainbow Railroad and Bi Pride UK. Petty Roots will eventually be published as a standalone novella, and profits from that will continue to benefit Rainbow Railroad.
The proceeds from Bi All Accounts go toward Bi The Book, a virtual writing conference dedicated to amplifying Bi+ voices.
In the course of writing Glimmer in the Dark, severe storms struck the western coast of Alaska, devastating local communities. The beneficiary organization for Glimmer in the Dark is the Alaska Community Foundation.
