Happy Small Press Month!

"The life’s blood of contemporary and modern literature is in the custodianship of so-called small publishers. Without them, there is no future for literature." ~Walter Mosley

I just found out it's National Small Press Month...and since I've been privileged enough to be published by two small presses, I should be celebrating it!

Let me just say, for anyone who doesn't already know, that the experience of being published by Samhain Publishing and The Wild Rose Press, both small presses, has been fantastic. I have learned so much about writing and editing and marketing, on an intimate level, with everyone involved at both houses. I'm so thankful that they exist and are thriving, and that they give authors another option for breaking into publication.

Here's a neat "To Do" list if you're an author published by a small press - or even if you just want to support them and spread the word about this month.

Meanwhile, I'm off to write...and support the efforts of small presses everywhere!
