Sapling issue # 809

The one in which we talk to April Michelle Bratten of Up the Staircase Quarterly

Hi writers.

Earlier this year, I shared a Publisher’s Weekly article written by S&S’s publisher, Sean Manning, on book blurbs. I found this continuation of the blurb conversation, published on NPR last week, to be an engaging read. As a small press staffer, and as an author frequently asked to blurb others’ books as well as solicit blurbs for my own, it’s a topic I have lots of *feelings* about, and I’ll be watching closely as the conversation continues to unfold.

Now, here’s what’s happening in the small press world this week.
