Belle Point Bulletin #10

Small press merch and a FLASH SALE

We are a little extra tired this week, so we’ll be regrouping and getting back to business with our next books over the next few days. Some quick updates!

AWP Kansas City

A truly remarkable experience. More of a debrief to come soon, but it was a great time all around.

Stick with small presses

Don’t forget to pre-order your STICK WITH SMALL PRESSES merch by 2/15! That’s Thursday!

Catalog Updates

• This New Dark officially launches next week! Thanks to everyone who picked up an early copy at AWP; we’re shipping out pre-orders this week as well.

  • Related: You might want to keep an eye on the Chicago Review of Books Instagram this week…just sayin’.

• Kirsten Reneau’s New Orleans dance card is filling up to celebrate Sensitive Creatures this spring! We’ll share more details soon about what she’ll be up to, but for those local to NOLA, don’t miss this upcoming trivia night with Blue Cypress!

• Our ARCs for Of Fathers & Gods are in! Now’s the perfect time to request one if you’re interested in interviewing Jim Roberts or writing about this gritty debut story collection for a particular outlet—always happy to offer suggestions. Please fill out this form to share your interest.

A New Project from our Founder/Publisher

We have been sort of keeping this under wraps, but it seems like a good time to share a new publishing project from Casie Dodd, our (mostly) fearless leader. She’s written a zine—Lit Fix: How to Support the Literary Ecosystem—and you can pre-order it now from Microcosm Publishing! More on this soon.

Upcoming Events

As the post-AWP dust settles, we’ll be shifting gears to start planning more for our next round of events and trips. A few places you’ll be able to catch us in the coming weeks/months:

• March: Northwest Arkansas for This New Dark

• April: Scissortail Festival (Ada, OK) and around the OKC metro

• Also April: New Orleans Poetry Festival

• May: Switchyard Festival in Tulsa

FLASH SALE!

To keep the small-press love going, we’re having a 24-hour flash sale starting TONIGHT at midnight: big love for small presses! Only on Valentine’s Day, all books on our website will be 50% off. Please help spread the word!

As always, thanks for sticking around. Be on the lookout for our next bookseller interview and publishing post later this month.
