Reposted from Bradan Press president @dremilymcewan • It was lovely to be back on @bbcrng “Naoi du Deich” this morning with Cathy Bhàn NicDhòmhnaill talking about translated #Gaelic children’s books, including our brand-new 𝗕𝗶𝗱𝗵 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗱𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗻 𝗗𝗲𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗶𝗹, the translation of Teddy Is Ready by Cape Breton author/illustrator Joanne MacDonald! 💙📚 So much to say and so little time, honestly, but I read a few pages aloud from 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗱𝗵 and we had a great chat along with Gillebride Mac IlleMhaoil @gillebridemacmillan, John Norman from the Gaelic Books Council @comhairle_nan_leabhraichean, and Finlay MacLennan / Fionnlaigh MacGilleFhinnein from Western Isles Libraries @wilibraries. Mìle taing do Chathy is Aileen airson seo a chur air dòigh! Tha Cathy na bana-ghaisgeach do leabhraichean Gàidhlig agus is mi a tha taingeil dhi 🥰

Today we're celebrating the 5-year anniversary of the launch of ANNA RUADH, the Gaelic translation of Anne of Green Gables! 📚💚👒 We had planned to hold book launch cèilidhs in Charlottetown, Halifax, and Sydney, but those were cancelled due to the pandemic lockdown and we pivoted to an online virtual cèilidh! The upside is that the video is still available to watch on our channel, and it's a delightful hour of Gaelic performances from Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, Scotland, and even Ireland!

Unfortunately, due to the tariff situation we are SUSPENDING Nova Scotia Gaelic flag orders to the USA on Friday, June 13. The CUTOFF DATE for Gaelic flag orders to the USA is 𝟱 𝗣𝗠 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗧𝗢𝗗𝗔𝗬, 𝗧𝗵𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗝𝘂𝗻𝗲 𝟭𝟮, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱. If you place your order today we'll be able to have someone hand-carry it to the USA & ship it there. The flags are manufactured in China by our supplier, which means that if we ship an order to a customer in the USA, the US CBP will charge the customer the current US tariff on goods made in China, even when receiving the parcel from Canada. If US tariffs against China are lifted in the future, we will be happy to start accepting flag orders from the USA again! Thank you for your understanding. * This issue does NOT apply to our books, which are printed in Canada. Our book shipments to the USA remain tariff-free! * This issue also does NOT apply to Gaelic flag orders from Canada, which will continue as usual. #gaelic #gaelicns #novascotia #gaelicflag

The Mayflower (trailing arbutus, epigaea repens) is the provincial flower of Nova Scotia and it's in bloom right now! In Gaelic it's called "neòinean-chùbhraidh" according to Alexander MacDonald, Alasdair Ailein Mhór, Bàrd na Ceapaich. His poem, "Òran do Neòinean-chùbhraidh" (Address to a Mayflower) in O Cheapaich nan Craobh edited by Trueman & Laurinda Matheson, is excerpted in our Gaelic cookbook, ÁS AN ABHAINN MHÓIR: ENGLISH-GAELIC RECIPES FROM PICTOU COUNTY!

Taing mhòr / Thank you so much to our readers around the world, our creative collaborators, our funders, and everyone else who has supported Bradan Press since our founding in January 2016! Mòran taing do ar luchd-leughaidh air feadh an t-saoghail, ar luchd co-obrachaidh cruthachail, na buidhnean a thug maoineachadh dhuinn, agus a h-uile neach is buidheann eile a thug taic dhuinn o’n a chaidh sinn a stèidheachadh san Fhaoilleach 2016! To celebrate we're having a S e c o n d s S a l e now through January 31, 2025 in our US & Canadian online stores! 🍁📚 All books listed as SECONDS are 25% off, no coupon needed. The damage is slight and mainly consists of bent corners, scuffed front covers, wear along the edges of covers, beat-up top & bottom edges on the spines, and the occasional creased back cover. The damage does not affect readability. US & CAN sale 🔗s in b i o. Quantities are limited so if you're interested, jump on it! #gaelicbooks #childrensbooks #gaelic #gaelicns #gàidhlig #booksale

Did you know that massive tech companies like 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐠𝐥𝐞 & 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐚 do certain things that actively make life harder for us as a small minority language publisher? 🚨🥲 For example, if you have a 𝐆𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐥 address, then you may not be getting email communications from Bradan Press! Here's what may happen: ❌ If you order a book from us, you may not get the order confirmation email! ❌ If you subscribe to our newsletter, you may not receive it! ❌ If you pledge to our crowdfunder, and we send you updates and request your address to ship your books, you may not get them! 😢 Unfortunately this is happening because we can't afford to subscribe to Google Business so they'll "whitelist" our company email domain (bradanpress dot com). ✅ The only way to ensure you'll ALWAYS get our emails is to add "info [at sign] bradanpress dot com" to your Gmail Contacts list. Can you do it today? P.S. If you correspond with Emily at Bradan Press, it also helps to add her personal work email to your contacts. For example, we've been having a bad communication breakdowns trying to hire a freelancer for a project, because every time we email their Gmail, it goes to their spam, unless we use the contact form on their website (which makes it impossible to send files).

Canada Post is on strike starting today, and we've noticed Canadian online orders dry up in the past week as customers were no doubt anticipating it. 😢 BUT the good news is that you can STILL order online from us in Canada and the USA! During the strike we're using Chit Chats, which has contracted with alternate carriers to help keep our orders moving and keep us afloat during this vital season for indie book sales. 💙📚🍁 We'll honour our normal shipping prices, which are $6.00 for any order under 500 grams and $14.00 for orders over 500 grams (for orders over 500 g we actually pay $17-$30 depending on proximity and urban vs. rural delivery.) And of course, if you're in HRM or have someone who will be, you can check the box for "Free Local Pickup" and pick it up from us in Dartmouth, not far from the MacDonald Bridge! Please keep in mind that Saturday, December 7, 2024 is our online order deadline to try to ensure you can receive your package by December 24th!
