> The tote bag:  What began as a bit of a marketing joke apparently garnered admirers at the Woolf conference (I’m told), and so I am making Queer Bloomsbury the tote bag available to all and sundry at http://pixels.com/products/queer-bloomsbury-full-cover-brenda-helt-tote-bag-16-16.html .  This can also be accessed via the main menu of my personal webpage (www.brendahelt.com). Proceeds will go to The Trevor Project, a national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to LGBTQ young people ages 13-24.  Hilariously, at the same site you can order Queer Bloomsbury the shower curtain or Queer Bloomsbury the iPhone case—as I said, this began as a joke.  The tote bag, however, is actually pretty cool.  So is the book, if I do say so myself.
