My new book is taking shape. I’ve already managed to whittle down what poetry will be included. The bigger job will be the essays and short fiction, but I suspect I’ll be wrangling a few people into assisting with the decision-making. I’m beyond excited, not just about the book, but about the wonderful opportunity to launch Write Crowd Publications.

The tentative plan is to launch in January 2010 with an eye on Fall 2010 for our second release – an as-yet-untitled memoir that we’ll be letting you know more about in the months to come. If we get our funding together, I’d also like to publish a yearly anthology, but that may be back-burnered while we sort out which strategies work for us and which do not. It’s a bit frightening, I must admit, to be jumping with both feet into the unknown. But what a grand adventure it will be!

Will be back in a few days with something fun!

Write more! Write now!
