August Updates

Dear Readers:

August has been a busy month. Before it slips away without a single blog post, I just wanted to let everyone know that we are still here and working hard on a number of exciting projects...

First up: Fact-Simile's long-awaited ASh Anthology will go out this week to reviewers and contributors. If you are in the "book" then check your mailbox. This Anthology will be available for purchase on our website soon after. Check back soon...I think you'll like it.

Next: FS 2.2 is coming along nicely. Our Interview this issue examines the act of collaboration in all its many forms with Keith and Rosmarie Waldrop. Also, we've received an overwhelming number of impressive submissions from all over the country. So much so that we are considering implementing a reading period in the near future. But for the time being, our open door policy remains in place, so please send some work along that you think might fit our fancy.

Last but not least: we are hard at work designing books and book objects for our three Equinox Chapbook winners Joe Cooper, Matt Reeck and Travis Cebula. Stay tuned for more details there.

Best,

Travis & JenMarie
