hi everyone,I am having so much trouble getting this book but I really want to read it! I've tried ordering it from the websites in the original post and tried ordering online. The problem is that I am currently living in the Australian outback where mail basically never gets delivered (my address for delivery isn't recognized as a real address) and my internet is so slow that my payment for online orders keeps timing out before they can go through (I get 2G speeds on a good day). Does anyone have any suggestions?

Do you have someone who could order it for you, and they could send it to you? Maybe the book could be send to their home address and then to you?
Ha... That sucks :s I was about to say "maybe try the pdf version" but I realized you would still experience the same problem. Do you have any neighbours who could help you for the connection to at least pay online the pdf version and download it?
The publisher has informed us that the iBook version of Fierce Femmes is now available in 50 countries, I believe on any apple device. https://itunes.apple.com/ca/book/fier...

If there’s anyone out there who loves books more than we do, it might be a small press publisher. They demonstrate their passion and devotion to books daily and take on financial risks to amplify the voices of amazing authors like Kai Cheng Thom, who wrote this month’s selection, Fierce Femmes and Notorious Liars: A Dangerous Trans Girl’s Confabulous Memoir. At Team OSS, we are honored to be able to support a small press like Metonymy Press out of Montreal, Canada who actively tries to reduce barriers to publishing for authors whose perspectives are underrepresented to produce books that are relevant to queer, feminist and social justice communities. By reading, purchasing and engaging in dialogue around these books, you are supporting small presses like Saqi Books who published The Things I Would Tell You and Counterpoint Press who published Heart Berries and more!
Small presses generally have less resources and less reach, so we also understand that availability and pricing may be less desirable for some in our global community. To help, we have worked closely with the publisher and they have been working hard to provide options to aid with access and availability:
For those in the U.S. and Canada, you may opt to buy from Metonymy Press directly – prices are in Canadian dollars:
https://metonymypress.com/shop/
There is also a pdf of the book available directly from the publisher for $10CAD. (Approx US$8 or £6)
For worldwide free delivery, try:
https://wordery.com
https://www.bookdepository.com
Books should be in stock on Amazon.
Metonymy pulled some strings to quickly obtain distribution in the UK and physical books are on their way (currently in the air, flying over us) to brick and mortar bookstores in the UK and Europe. Stay tuned for bookstore names and feel free to chime in here.
The distributor and bibliodata code allows the library system and bookstores to access the books in the UK and Europe, so feel free to request it. Same goes for the U.S. and Canada.
Any resourceful members who want to add to this list are welcome!
Thank you for supporting small presses and diverse voices!
With love and gratitude,
Helen
