Astrophil Press

It has been a very hectic few weeks for me and the writers of Astrophil Press. As we are all three teaching at colleges, we are prone to the crunch of spring semester, where seniors are frantically trying to get paper work in order, first years are looking for guidance, and late papers come trickling in like a pesky broken water faucet. However, we know the end of the year is coming and so we bow our heads and grade papers with vigor, anticipating that first month of summer break where we can return to our true love, writing. David is currently in England, spending his spring break with friends and working on a new manuscript. Eric is spending his spring break with his lovely wife in the East Bay. I spent my break in Denver playing music with d.biddle, but found myself stranded for an extra couple days due to circumstances beyond my control. However, now I am back in the thick of things and I'm knee deep in working with Keith Abbott's book. We have some delightful photos of Brautigan that most readers have never seen and it's a thrill just to look through them as I format the text!

I've been reading quite a bit lately and hope to free up some time to write reviews. I've read books by: Brian Evenson, Julie Doxsee, Sandy Florian, Peter Straub, Christopher Baer, and I'm reading a couple manuscripts from friends as well (which I won't review, but of which and I am rather enjoying).

Our books are still selling well and we encourage you to tell your friends to pick up copies! We are a small press and word of mouth is everything. Which reminds me, we will be preparing to accept short story submissions soon, so keep an eye on the site for our cal for submissions!
