A New Chapter: Membership and Best of the Unpublished
October 11, 2026
Brickhouse Books is preparing to introduce a new membership program, and we’d love you to be part of what comes next. At its heart is Best of the Unpublished, a free monthly newsletter that will give readers another way to discover the writing that comes our way.
Meet Best of the Unpublished
There’s more good writing than we can fit into books. Best of the Unpublished arrives November 1, 2026.
Each month, we’ll feature three favorite pieces we couldn’t include in our books. We hope readers and writers enjoy seeing these words find a home here.
Free reading, with more ways to join in
Free membership will include Best of the Unpublished. Our planned paid memberships will include the newsletter, too, along with LikeWander Pro for organizing your favorite things and discovering what to try next; BrickHouse Baller, a brick-breaking game with literary quizzes; and full access to descrambleTHIS, where word puzzles reveal surprising facts.
The proposed paid-member store benefits are 25% off books and merchandise purchased directly from our shop, including items already on sale, plus free standard U.S. shipping with no minimum purchase. These benefits will apply while a paid membership is active.
Coming soon
Best of the Unpublished launches November 1st. Our membership program is also on the way; we’ll share enrollment and app-access details when membership opens. In the meantime, sign up for Brickhouse updates to stay in touch as we get ready.
We’ve been publishing poetry, prose, and nonfiction in Baltimore since 1970. This new program is another way to bring readers and writers together and help sustain independent publishing. We look forward to sharing the next chapter with you.
