The book, but more.

The club gets first claim on special editions. Here's what that looks like for SHE by Mark Anthony.

Where it starts

SHE as you know it. The 5 × 8 inch paperback in its pink cover, made to fit in a bag.

Bigger · 8 × 12.75 in

Printed large

The special edition grows to 8 × 12.75 inches, so every poem gets room to breathe, with extra poems printed in several ink colors.

Bound · Clothbound

Cloth and foil

Home · Coffee table

On your table

On Substack

The club, in writing.

The Bad Girls Bookclub is getting a home on Substack. Every week we take one poem or drawing from our poets and artists and go deeper into what it's really about, with some history, culture, psychology and a little sexology along the way. Less a showcase, more a conversation around the work.

Coming this fall

Every day

Notes

Two or three short notes a day: new poems, art and snippets from the books, straight to your feed.

Every week

The essay

One longer piece on a single poem or drawing and what sits underneath it. Some free, some for paid subscribers.

Every month

The book club

One title from our poets and artists, with discussion threads all month and a live chat with the poet at the end.

Paid

Closer to the work

Poets reading their own work, live wine nights with an artist, early access to new releases and merch, and the full essay archive.
