Words and Wisdom
Welcome back dear Friends and Fans. As always we are glad to have you hear with us experiencing life at Open Heart Publishing. As you know we have quite a bit going on around here and it is my most humble duty to share what we’ve learned with you and to inspire you to your own little piece of greatness. Ha! Or maybe you’re like me and you’re looking to eat the whole pie. Either way, here’s another slice!
As you know, or may not know, Debrin, or illustrious publisher is off on a literary walkabout sharing his wisdom, meeting artists and writers like yourselves and spreading the word about Open Heart Publishing. “Growing the Brand,” you might call it “doing the dance arms all akimbo taking a major leap of faith. I am in awe of the gumption it must take. He was most recently in the Big Easy taking it slow on the banks of Lake Pontchartrain. There he met two of our returning contributors C.B. Calsing, who not only provided us with some great stories for our anthologies but also blessed us with a collection she wrote called “Along the Pacific”; and Robert Dean who gave us “Blue Eyeliner” for “An Honest Lie Volume 1: Encouraging the Delinquency of Your Inner Child”. That, is a great story. We’d love the read more of your work, if you’re reading this dude.
But, alas, on who walks about never can for long remain in one local so, Debrin has moved on again, the wanderlust snatching his feet and carrying him onward; this time to Nashville. Let us send with him our best wishes and let’s hope his luck improves. Here’s to you my brother … godspeed.
And while or publisher is doing the leg work on the road, we here at home are holding down the OHP fort. I am happy to say that we’ve read almost everything you guys have sent and we will be announcing the short list within weeks. I know it seems to have been an extra long haul with the submissions extension and everything but the time is drawing short I promise you. I can say that I am extremely pleased with the submissions we received. You are one creative group of writers and I am privledged to be one of the first to read your work. We are going to have a hard time choosing the lucky few, but I think we are about to put out our best book yet. I can’t wait.
Alright then, with all of the words and all of the wisdom imparted, I will see you anon.
