I'm delighted to announce that
I will self-publish a print book of poems.
ANTIQUE PIANO & Other Sour Notes,
a collection of humorous poems,
will be available March 2014!
(I really wanted a curly, cursive typeface for that. Oh, well.)
I've been working behind the scenes for a few months on this and it is both exciting and terrifying, almost overwhelming. I needed to learn all kinds of new things and to research the process of self-publication. That is why I haven't been blogging much.
I've formatted the manuscript in a template, chosen typefaces and a layout, had a logo made, hired a proofreader and a cover designer.
It's coming together and it's starting to look like a book, not a manuscript.
I look forward to your sour notes, Barbara. I'll have to cover DD's ears, for she is a real-deal pianist, but I just love the title.

DeleteOh, sweet! That's very happy news! and I am a sucker for old pianos in need of tuning anyway.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Melinda! This particular piano caused me no end of problems. I wrote a poem about it for revenge! ;-)
