Could be Perfect

We’re keeping our fingers crossed on this, but I think we’ve found the perfect spot for our launch/book release event. I’m supposed to hear back from the manager today, but when we talked on Saturday evening, he seemed to think it was a go. But until you have confirmation…

The place is a downtown bar called La Cita. It’s on 4th and Hill, across the street from Angel’s Flight. They have a great back patio that could accommodate a reading and a celebration.

We considered Beyond Baroque, but feel it’s too far out West for us for this particular event, considering both we and Kim are on this part of town. Also, we thought the bar would be better for a party. But a reading at Beyond Baroque is still something we want to organize. I mean, as an LA publisher, as an LA poet, you gotta do something at Beyond Baroque, right?

So, keep your fingers crossed for us. We’ll be hearing from them today.

WLP interviewed on BlogTalkRadio

Writ Large Press was interviewed by Stacey Mangiaracina and Roy Johnston of “Between the Sheets,” a show on BlogTalkRadio. They wanted to know what our process has been in launching a small literary press and we read some of the poems from Kim’s collection.

The two hosts were really great, generous and supportive, and we’re looking forward to speaking to them again.

Come on in! We’re open!

Okay. It’s a bit rough around the edges, but we have finally opened our (virtual) bookstore.

Here’s the entrance. Come on in.

Once inside, you will see our entire catalog of books. Don’t freak out when you see only one title in this catalog, because we all know that it’s going to grow into something incredible.

We have the Proof

It’s here. It’s beautiful. And we’re excited as all freakin’ hell. Yesterday, we received the proof copy of Who’s to Say What’s Home from Lightning Source.

We spent a good amount of time going through the pages, checking for errors, and mostly staring at it from all angles. To paraphrase our dear friend Michelle in New York, it is beautiful and perfect. (Okay, there was one slightly misaligned page that we instantly corrected, but still perfect!)

LAUNCH DATE SET – Friday 5/2!!

MARK YOUR CALENDARS: Friday, May 2nd, 7 pm on. The Writ Large Press Launch. Kim Calder book release.

We just talked to a manager at La Cita and he says it’s a go. We’re going to have our launch and release party there on May 2nd. So mark your calendars and plan on joining us.

They’re letting us have the back patio of the bar at no cost, other than all the booze that people will be buying and drinking, on a Friday night. It will start at 7 and we’ll start wrapping up around 10′ish.
