Wear Your Story: New Merch for Writers & Readers Who Don’t Wait for Permission
We made this merch for people who love books so much they organize their lives around them. People who write in notebooks that are falling apart. People who read everywhere and do not ask permission to do it. If that’s you, hi!!!! You’re in the right place. This new Unsolicited Press merch drop isn’t about trends or hype. It’s about claiming who you are and letting your clothes quietly back you up.
Some days you’re writing. Some days you’re thinking about writing. Some days you’re avoiding writing but still absolutely a writer. This sweatshirt covers all of that. It’s soft, comfortable, and honest. It says what you’re already living. You are in your author era, whether the draft is finished or not.
Writing is how a lot of us make sense of the world. It’s how we push back. It’s how we tell the truth when everything else feels loud and wrong. This crewneck is for the people who believe words still matter. For the ones who resist by paying attention, by telling stories, by refusing to shut up. Rise up. Resist.
Round Vinyl Stickers
These are the fun ones. Laptop stickers. Notebook stickers. Water bottle stickers. Stickers you plaster all over your car! The kind that spark conversations or at least let someone know what kind of reader you are. They’re durable, bold, and made to be used, not saved.
Read Without Permission Tote
Totes were built to carry the load. And hey!, books are heavy and reading in public still feels like a small act of defiance sometimes.
It’s sturdy, bright red, and fits a lot. Library books, small press finds, notebooks, snacks, whatever you’re carrying around with you right now.
The message is simple: Read without permission.
This one doesn’t need much explaining. It’s a reminder we need more womxn’s voices on our shelves, in our syllabi, and in our conversations. It’s cozy, wearable, and makes the point without shouting.
This one is for the readers who like their book love a little sharper. Subtle, wearable, and a bit wild (but also oh so stunning). It’s the kind of piece you put on when you want to feel like yourself again, even if you’re just answering emails or running to the post office.
It says “Read Dangerously,” which is exactly the energy we’re trying to bring back to literature.
