An Interview! And a bit of news.

The good people at the Canada Reads American Style podcast recently asked me some questions on editing and writing and my process of becoming an editor and a writer (and a publisher), and I provided some mostly coherent answers for 30 minutes – except for becoming a publisher, which I neglected to answer. It was late, and we had some technical issues, and I’d already edited 15,000 words that day…. That’s here:

And the bit of news? Apastoral did win the NB Fiction Award for 2022. That was months ago. That was nice. And it has gone into a second printing. And something new by me should be out in the next six months.

Lastly, I finally launched Galleon Books! Jerrod Edson’s The Boulevard and Jake Swan’s Grantrepreneurs are getting great reviews and, well, modest sales. Go buy them!

I read & write all the time, yet I hardly read & write at all…

And that sums up why I haven’t been posting much. Maybe this is the year though that I work out how to be both a busy editor/book designer and a writer who’s actually writing… Meanwhile, here’s a photo of my office.

Boulardarie Island Press

I’m pleased to be added to the editing roster of Boulardarie Island Press. The press, run by author Douglas Arthur Brown, falls into that evolving area between traditional publishing and self publishing, and could be described as “assisted, professional-quality self publishing” offering e-book conversion, editorial services, printing services, promotional advice. The preference is to work with authors who have already had a trade publication. Some of those authors, like myself, tire of waiting for the second or third book to be picked up, or have seen little financial benefit in traditional publishing.
