Is It Finally Ready

I think it is finally that time to send the manuscript to the printer…but just one last glance at all the dots and commas and dashes…

Sun 5/31 – 6 PM – Tongue & Groove – AARON HENNE

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.

“You Already Know” Rescheduled for Late July/Early August

Our next scheduled book, as you know, is playwright Aaron Henne’s You Already Know. It is a great book of writing exercises that are meant to be useful and functional for writers of all genres and of varying levels of experience. We are extremely proud of the manuscript and can’t wait to release it!

But – wait we must.

We’d originally had the book scheduled (hoped) for a end of May release, but due to various circumstances, we’ve had to delay it.

Most of it has been me (Chiwan) dropping the ball, I think, since Judeth’s been extra busy at her new teaching job, preparing and directing a middle school/high school production of Babes in Arms.

My apologies.

But, on the other hand, we know that the extra time will do nothing more than give us the opportunity to make the book absolutely perfect. Perfect, I say!

So we’ll continue to keep you in the loop regarding You Already Know.

In the meantime, enjoy this video of Chet Baker performing “My Funny Valentine” from Babes in Arms.

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.
