Will there be a second printing?

it depends on how many more people express interest... right now, it seems like we have the right amount, but if more people start writing in between now and when we start sewing the books, then yes, probably.
there is a chance that the second printing will be hand-sewn and feature a letterpress cover just like the first (only without the signature envelopes)... otherwise, it will just be printed and maybe stapled. we'll start thinking about the 2nd edition once the 1st is out the door...

hi, would you accept novella, I have written few years back and never really tried to send it anywhere yet?

we already have 3, possibly 4, projects lined up. so even if your novella is great it will be quite some time before we could do anything with it. BUT head over to the chance press page - www.chancepress.com - and read the submissions guidelines, and then if you still want to email it to us, go right ahead. it might be awhile before we can get back to you.

still waiting for a few signatures. i know we'll get them eventually from all but one contributor, and if that contributor doesn't send them in i won't include their submission: i'm not willing to publish a chapbook of 20 poets with only 19 signatures. so we can't go ahead with printing just yet.
sorry this is taking so long, but that's one of the big reasons why i didn't want to accept pre-payment.

Hey I'll sign for them. Just send me a PM. I'll sign their name and POA.

Thanks for the update, Rubyred. We'll be right here.
I'm holding it up on purpose.
to generate controversy and make trouble.
it's just how I roll.

Done.

because i think you have to pay for one of those things, and we haven't quite reached that stage yet... we're still using a wordpress blog as our website!
SOME RATHER BIGGISH SORT OF NEWS...
it looks like we are going to have a very special contributor in our anthology...
this person is somewhat known round these parts and has asked to be included in our little collection and how could we say no??
but it shall remain a secret! (at least for now)

we're working on it - i promise! the formatting is done, so next we have to decide where/how to print it. i want to use copy paper, since i don't know that the price is high enough to recoup the printing cost if we use nice paper, but justine will probably make us use some really expensive nice stuff.

here's the thing:
after contributor copies, we'll be selling 30 copies at $12-15 a piece. it's not just the materials for the chapbook we need to cover, it's also the initial outlay on tools that we'd like to recoup and also fund our next project, then hopefully the next project will fund the following and so on and so forth. this probably won't be the case, but damn we're gonna try.
i WOULD really like to use high quality paper for this, since it's our baby, but we'll have to research prices first.
sorry this is going much slower than we speculated, but work etc. etc.
we'll get there eventually.
