Writ Large Press

It is that time: the release of our second title, You Already Know, by Aaron Henne.

Yes, it is true we haven’t put out a book since George W. Bush was President, but we like to take our time and make sure the book is perfect. And, we promise, we won’t wait for another presidential change to release our next title!

SO

please join us to celebrate Aaron and his wonderful book at the most awesome downtown joint, La Cita.

Our author and well-loved playwright/teacher Aaron Henne will be reading at the great Tongue & Groove this coming Sunday.

Although we’ve had to push the release of his book back a bit, Aaron is one of the hardest working people in the biz.

So do come and check it out. To hear him and also to hear the other fantastic writers (I personally am very excited about hearing Evan Wright).

See you there. Click picture for better view of info.

A writer that we are HUGE fans of will be one of the readers at Conrad Romo’s Tongue & Groove event this Sunday.

We like Andrew Choate so much that we told him we’d like to publish his next book. To our delight, he’s all for it. He’s been working on the manuscript right now.

His work is incredibly unique and we love any writer, any artist, who commits to his craft so completely.

His first book, Langquage Makes the Body Plastic, was published by Palm Press. The book comes with a CD that includes Andrew’s musical renditions.

We are very excited and we have to figure out how to do the CD and such, considering the publishing service we use.

Anyway, for a better taste of what Andrew’s about, check out this clip of him reading “Home Depot Weapon”:

Please join us at Skylight Books tomorrow night as Kim Calder does her final reading before leaving Los Angeles for Prague!

We’re so excited to have a reading booked at Skylight. It is probably the major independent bookstore (along with Vroman’s in Pasadena) around Los Angeles. Which means, we need to make a GREAT SHOWING so we can have more events there in the future and sell our books there.

Kim will be reading with Cati Porter, poet and editor of Poemelon.

Kim Calder & Cati Porter

This is the first of the 3 final readings Kim Calder will be reading before she leaves Los Angeles. She’s really done quite of bit of work over the past year, promoting her work, participating in readings. It can get really difficult and tiring and we commend her for it.

So don’t miss her!

Friday, March 27th, 8 p.m. at Stories Bookstore in Echo Park, 1716 Sunset Blvd.

Kim will be reading with Karen Harryman, a Black Goat Press poet (now an imprint of Akashic Books), and here’s her deal:

Karen Harryman’s poems have appeared in Alaska Quarterly, Los Angeles Review, Poetry New Zealand, and the Cortland Review, as well as other print and online journals. Before moving to Los Angeles, she lived and worked in Kentucky for most of her life. Currently, she teaches English and creative writing at YULA, an Orthodox Jewish high school in Los Angeles. Auto Mechanic’s Daughter is her first book.

Stories, if you haven’t been yet, is a beautiful little bookstore that opened in Echo Park. They, like all small independent bookstores, could use our support.

Kim Calder is reading in our neighborhood, Dowtown LA, at the Sip Tea on Broadway.

She will be accompanied, among others, by Melora Walters, who is one of Kim’s students and a wonderful actress (Wanda Henrickson on “Big Love”).

Looking forward to it!

Here’s the info:

Friday, Feb 13th
