The O Mission Repo read by Travis Macdonald

Reading Thanks and Equinox Updates

Many thanks, first and foremost, to those who turned out for last Saturday's reading. JenMarie and I were both relieved that the weather held off enough for us to get there, so seeing everyone else who turned out was a pleasant surprise indeed!

Jen is currently up in Boulder putting the finishing touches on Bombay Gin and her graduate thesis, but when she returns we will be reading all the wonderful submissions to our first annual chapbook contest and putting together the spring 2009 issue of Fact-Simile, so stay tuned!

Saturday April 4th, 2009 Reading at Naropa University

I almost forgot: Travis Macdonald and Lisa Birman will be reading at Naropa University, upstairs in Shambhala Hall on April 4th at 8 pm

We would love to see you there!

Equinox Chapbook Contest is Officially Closed

Many thanks to everyone who contributed to our first annual Equinox Chapbook Contest! The response was truly overwhelming...we've accepted dozens of submissions from talented writers nationwide and we are currently reviewing every page in order to determine the best fit for our press. If you haven't heard, we will be publishing an announcement of the winning text in the upcoming issue of Fact-Simile Magazine, featuring an interview with Kristin Prevallet. So please stay tuned!

Equinox Chapbook Contest

Yesterday the first day of spring came rolling in the door and with it the official deadline for Fact-Simile's first annual Equinox Chapbook Contest!

The response has been overwhelming...So much so that, there's just now way we're going to get around to reading all the subs this weekend.

With that in mind, WE'VE DECIDED TO EXTEND THE DEADLINE for another week as we organize and review submissions. So if you were on the fence, now is the time to send some work along to:

Monthly Updates Overdue

February was a busy month for the boys and girls here at Fact-Simile Editions. We have been enjoying all the good press we can from "The O Mission Repo." We are just starting to take a look at submissions for the Spring 2009 issue of Fact-Simile magazine, featuring an interview with Kristin Prevallet. So be sure to send something along for consideration if you're so inclined.

We are also actively courting advertising for this issue, so if you have an artistic or literary endeavor that you'd like publicized at ridiculously low rates, please be sure to contact us here.

Other projects on the horizon, you'll be hearing more about very soon:

The Ash Anthology
Equinox Chapbook Contest
Summer Broadside Series
