Saying Goodbye
New Anthology Line-Up
February 24, 2011 – Hello Friends! Please forgive my long hiatus. Dream of Things launched three books between October 1, 2010, and January 1, 2011. I can tell you first hand that there is at least as much work (if not more) involved in a book AFTER it’s launched compared to before. So I have been very busy promoting Everything I Never Wanted to Be, Saying Goodbye and MFA in a Box.
I have also been busy preparing for the Note Project, which is a very exciting project in its own right, and is doubly exciting because Dream of Things is a sponsor. That means that in return for helping to spread the word about the Note Project, Dream of Things will gain exposure to Note Project participants, many of whom I hope will also become followers of Dream of Things.
2010 Successes, 2011 Plans
Dec. 8, 2010 — Hello Friends! It’s been one year since I launched Dream of Things. It was a great year thanks to a lot of people—especially the writers who submitted their work, and the readers who are now raving about it. With your support, we’ll publish the work of many more writers and produce more great books. Here’s a recap of the past year and a preview of my plans for 2011.
Update on Submissions and New Books
September 7, 2010 — Hello Friends! It’s been almost a year since I started Dream of Things, and I’ve learned a lot in that time. One thing I learned is not to take on too much at one time. I was probably a little overzealous in posting calls for submissions for 15 anthologies all at once. And overzealous to publish three books in my first year. But I’ve read lots of great submissions, and the books are all going to be great reads.
The three books are Everything I Never Wanted to Be by Dina Kucera (release date: 10/1/10); Saying Goodbye, the first Dream of Things Anthology (release date: 10/11/10); and MFA in a Box by John Rember (release date: 1/1/11).
Pre-release copies of Everything I Never Wanted to Be are available from Dream of Things now. Saying Goodbye and MFA in a Box will be available in October. Reserve your copy now on Dream of Things.
The only drawback to being overzealous (aside from only getting four to five hours of sleep a night) is that it’s been a challenge to keep up with submissions. So thank you to writers everywhere for your patience. Here’s a quick update on submissions:
Today Arrived Sooner Than I Expected
May 5, 2010 — Hello Friends! No, the headline is not a quote from Moe, Larry or Curly. I’m saying that after only a few months of accepting submissions, we are almost ready to publish the first Dream of Things anthology. Submissions will close for the “Saying Goodbye” anthology on June 30, 2010,
