A Small Tale of Writ Large

He is from Los Angeles…by way of Paraguay, South America…originally from Seoul, Korea.

She was born in Louisville, Kentucky…and was raised in North Carolina…with a stint in Conneticut.

He ended up in New York on a bet. She was already there after finishing her undergrad in New Haven.

And together, they moved back to Los Angeles, where they learned something that hardly anybody knew. It was time to let the cat out of the bag. It was time to break the news. It was time to reveal the biggest secret of all:

Los Angeles has the most vibrant, most diverse, most open, and most exciting literary community anywhere.

Who Are We

She: Judeth Oden. Playwright. Teacher. Designer.

He: Chiwan Choi. Poet. Teacher. Editor.

Writ Large Mission

With 2 to 4 of the very best books published each year, Writ Large Press plans to peel the cover off of the unstoppable creative collective that is the Los Angeles literati, pulling the writers out from the shadow of the Hollywood sign and into the international spotlight.

Novels. Poems. Short stories. Memoirs. Essays. Plays. Journals. Songs. Theories. Opinions. Doodles.

Writing is writing.

Here, it’s all writ large.

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.
