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<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3a%2f%2fpixels.com%2fproducts%2fqueer-bloomsbury-full-cover-brenda-helt-tote-bag-16-16.html&data=01%7c01%7cneverowv1%40southernct.edu%7c6393cc44caac4fb4a6b108d39b7f313d%7c58736863d60e40ce95c60723c7eaaf67%7c1&sdata=iBVaXMbAY1docbja0Cbbula%2bYynNzrb9yisviPbK5Zk%3d> .  This can also be accessed via the main menu of my personal webpage (www.brendahelt.com<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.brendahelt.com&data=01%7c01%7cneverowv1%40southernct.edu%7c6393cc44caac4fb4a6b108d39b7f313d%7c58736863d60e40ce95c60723c7eaaf67%7c1&sdata=mBtYWbyoZ85e%2bEKLgxWOzbf4EmqUKQqAaM83P1AlRvQ%3d>). 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.

Very best,

Brenda (and Madelyn)
