Hiya! So 2015 has started and we’ve already hit the ground running. Releasing 2 great poetry collections, there’s still a plethora of releases that we are lining up. I’d like to extend a huge welcome to our new authors accepted into Weasel Press, Kai Neidhardt, Robin Wyatt Dunn and Z.M. Wise! I’d also like to welcome Z.M. Wise and Emily Ramser to the Weasel Press Staff!
2014 was a tough year; we went through a major growing pain and a great learning experience. We still have a lot of room to grow and much more to learn, and we are thankful to have all you literary junkies riding along with us. Your patience is majorly appreciated!
Right now there’s a lot of things on the drawing board. Some may happen, some may not, this will all depend on time and funding, though we’ll make every best effort to make them happen in the future. Our release calender so far is as follows:
Kai Neidhardt’s Paradise Hills - February 6, 2015
Manna Plourde’s Viscera - February 13, 2015
Vagabonds: Anthology of the Mad Ones - March 13, 2015
Vixyy Fox’s Improbable…Never Impossible - April 17, 2015
Robin Wyatt Dunn’s Last Freedom - June 5, 2015
Kai Neidhardt’s Jazz Beats and Deliriums - July 10, 2015
We’ve got two zines calling for submissions. Degenerates: Voices for Peace has a deadline of March 6, 2015 and The Haunted Traveler has deadline of April 10, 2015. Check out these two great magazines at our website!
Weasel Press will be hosting events throughout 2015, the first being at NOKturne for March 14, 2015 7PM to 10PM. We’ll be featuring Z.M. Wise and David E. Cowen (pending confirmation) along with an open mic. A third featured reader is still to be determined. Our next event will be in April for National Poetry Month. Venue is To Be Determined. More details when they are available.
Submissions for 2015 will be extremely limited to new authors until further notice. Authors who are already signed with Weasel Press can still discuss new projects with me. I’m limiting submissions to new authors for a variety of reasons, but my biggest reason is I’m prepping for a chapbook contest that will have a rather large cash prize (between $200-$500). Details are still in the works but I’m hoping to have this contest up and running by summer. I am also working on getting a paying anthology (I’m thinking on it being The Haunted Traveler, but I’m not exactly sure just yet). We have a lot of growing pains to go through, but we’re ready for them.
More updates to come. If you haven’t grabbed our latest releases, check out our storenvy and look around!
