About the Box
What can I expect from New Suns boxes?
Each box contains one book and 2-3 gifts* made by artists from underrepresented groups. You select the book yourself from among 4-5 titles, which we curate every quarter based on a theme. We try to provide a range of genres and styles for you to choose from—and, if you can’t choose, you can always hit “Surprise me!” on the selection page!
_*With the exception of our one-time boxes, which only include one gift (an art print)._
How are the books and gifts selected?
Every quarter, we decide on a theme for our box based on what we want to celebrate or see more of in the world. We then select the books ourselves, with an eye for upcoming rather than established authors. Our aim is to bring you literature that might otherwise have escaped your notice — titles from smaller, independent presses who are publishing great literature, but don’t have the same budget for advertising as big-name publishers. We then search for cool gifts that pair well with the books we’ve chosen. We look specifically for artists of color, queer and trans artists, and artists from other underrepresented groups — and we always include their business cards in our boxes, so you can easily find more of their work!
Can I buy only the book without the gifts?
No, we don’t offer a book-only subscription at this time.
I really love this one gift that came in your box! Can I buy it separately?
Not through us, but we always include the business card(s) of the artist(s) in our boxes! Head on over to their website/social media and support them by buying from them directly!
Do you offer audiobooks?
Many of the books we currently offer in our boxes are published by small, independent presses, which means there typically aren’t audiobook versions of them available. We’d love to offer audiobooks in the future, and we’re working to make our box more accessible to people of all reading needs and preferences — follow us on social media for updates!
