Publication Fair 2017

The annual Holiday season Publication Fair at The Cleaners / Ace Hotel. Always a blast! A special thanks to our author Michelle Overby for holding down the fort at the Two Plum table for the first two hours of the event, and to Alex who held down the fort with me for the last two hours of the event! 

This one was extra special for me because it marked the debut of two new releases: Hear Oars by Zachary Schomburg (022), and my band Advrb releasing our first new album in 6 years! Antiquated Future, who we celebrated 20 releases with earlier this year, put it out. I made letterpress-cover tiny lyric booklets. 

ZACHARY SCHOMBURG: HEAR OARS

Hear Oars will be released at Publication Fair on December 17th, 2017. Here is a trailer Zachary made for the book:

Here are the phone photos I took the first afternoon I had a completed version to read:

SWIFT COLLECTIVE HOLIDAY MAKER FAIR

I was invited by my dear pal (and perhaps someday Two Plum Press author– lookin' at you for our first books of comics!) Marta to table at her work's Holiday maker fair thing! It was fun! 

SHORT RUN 2017

Two Plum Press was proud to table at Short Run in Seattle again this November!

When the event was over, I thought "Hmm, I wonder why they didn't have the photographer going around taking those great portraits again this year?" Well, it turns out they did– as my arm is visible to the left in this photo of Delphine. I'm even wearing my nice camel hair shirt! But did they take myyyy portrait? Nooooooo. Whatever Short Run!

Included for your enjoyment is my favorite Two Plum Press super fan in all the land: Tony. I met Tony years ago at one of the APRIL festivals, and he's just the greatest. He sat across from Delphine and I this year and we got to wave periodically. Hi Tony! Anyway, I'll just assume I didn't make the documentation this year because I was too busy getting literature into the hands of Seattle. 

This Short Run also marked the release of two new books I've written. The first is the new, Sasquatch Books edition of my cookbook: The Myrtlewood Cookbook: Pacific Northwest Home Cooking, and the second is Collected Coffee Bags, put out by Delphine right there at Quotidian Press. 

new title on the horizon

We're thrilled to be working on this new book of poems by Zachary Schomburg!
