We got our proof copy of Aaron’s book on Friday.
The hope is, with each proofreading session, every error will be caught. Um…no.
It’s like they multiply while you’re not looking. Those stray commas. Them extra spaces. Those O’s mistaken for o’s.
Anyway, caught all of ‘em this time for sure! I swear! And back to the printer. Ready to order the 250 copies for the PARTY!!
Come to the party and you’ll see how perfect the book is.
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.
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.
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!)
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.
