Our June 2025 Pride Bundles for Charity sale, selling bundles of short stories and art to raise money for Rainbow Railroad, has officially concluded, and we’ve already made the donation!

Duck Prints Press has donated $225.07 to Rainbow Railroad; the Press also kicked in another $5.63 to cover the processing fee.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who boosted and liked the bundle campaign, and of course to everyone who bought one or more of the bundles! We couldn’t have done this without you.

What follows are screen captures showing our sales and proof of donation, for transparency purposes. The percentages donated for each bundle vary because authors and artists had the option to donate shares of their royalties; some did so, some did not. Which chose to do that impacted the total amount we could donate from each bundle. The Press donated $46.98 of our total share of the proceeds, plus the $5.63 for the fee; the rest of our donation comes from the generosity of the contributing creators. Note: small discrepancies in the dollar amounts in the “Net Sales” column of the first screen cap and the “Gross Sales” row of the third screen cap are caused by currency conversions; the differences were reflected when the total fees were calculated.





 

HAPPY PRIDE 2025! For Pride this year, we’re changing up our usual rec lists. Instead of doing books with specific identities or themes, we’re focused this time on cover color! Throughout the month of June, we’ll be doing 8 rec lists, each with covers inspired by one of the colors of the original Gilbert Baker Pride Flag. We drew a little additional inspiration from the meaning behind the color and why it was included in the original LGBTQIA+ flag (in this case, violet = spirit), but we prioritized color over meaning. The contributors to this list are: Nina Waters, Dei Walker, Shannon, and Tris Lawrence.
