Belle Point Bulletin #4
What's coming in 2024 + sale extended!
Happy New Year! As our four-year-old said about entering 2024, we “can’t wait to get started.” With twenty Belle Point titles on the docket this year, we hope to have a regular influx of book updates coming your way.
Poetry Highlights
Over the holiday “break,” we sent off the next two poetry chapbooks to the printer—you can subscribe now to get them first plus three more titles.
Don’t forget that we’re also publishing four stellar full-length poetry collections this year, including two debuts by poets who previously appeared in our anthologies. Keep an eye out for our first 2024 poetry cover reveal soon.
Prose Overview
We’ve mentioned some of our forthcoming books recently but will share more soon about all six literary prose titles (an interesting blend of fiction and nonfiction). First, we can’t wait to launch Chase Dearinger’s This New Dark in a few weeks at AWP! Remember that pre-orders also get a bonus installment of our Prose Series, which features additional work by Chase.
We’re also developing a new, less literary imprint/series of nonfiction books, which will launch in the fall.
AWP 2024
We’ll probably mention AWP quite a bit because we’re so dang excited that it’s only four hours away from us this year! We plan to make the most of it and can’t wait to see so many of our authors, friends, and readers in person soon (plus meet lots of new folks too, of course!). In addition to being at the bookfair all three days, our founder/publisher will be on a panel about anthologies, and we’re coordinating two offsite events on Thursday and Friday evening!
Bundle Sale Extended!
In the spirit of getting your 2024 reading off to a strong start, we’re extending the bundle sale through the whole month of January: an extra 20% off all the already-discounted bundles in our shop! It’s a great chance to snag that chapbook subscription and stave off any FOMO for folks who won’t be attending AWP. The discount is applied automatically at checkout.
New Substack Format
We’re making some additions and streamlining content this year. One new feature will be monthly interviews with independent booksellers we love! Our first interview is coming later this week. Alongside these weekly newsletters, we’ll also keep sharing other industry interviews and informative posts about the wider publishing world. Remember that the best way to keep up is to subscribe below.
