Hello! As the summer rolls into full bloom, we are rolling closer to a couple of our big goals for 2009. The first is the release of Keith Abbott's book Downstream from Trout Fishing in America. I just returned from a meeting with Keith in Colorado, where we reviewed editing choices and cover artwork. The book will be out shortly, we will to send it to print in July! If you are a fan of Richard Brautigan or Keith Abbott, this book is a must! Every time I read it, I wish I had this book when I discovered Brautigan's fiction.
The second item is distribution for Astrophil Press. It's been a slow process, but we have finally found a distributor that we like and I have signed the contract. Once everything is official, we will post a link on our page for professors, teachers, and anyone else who would like to buy our books. Furthermore, this will mean that your local or national bookstore will be able to order our books, so please tell your book store about us when the time arrives! In the event that you want to give and Astrophil Press book as a gift (did I mention that books from small presses make excellent gifts?), you will soon be able to do so with many online stores. Don't worry, if you want to buy books directly from us, you will still have that option!
Again, we will be opening a contest very soon for a collection of poems, so please keep us bookmarked. I am very busy wrapping up Keith's book, preparing to teach at UNF, and listening to the new Hayden record all the while. Until next time, have a lovely summer!
