Default "New" authors at Able Muse Press

Dear Eratosphereans,

I'm pleased to announce that I’ve accepted two poetry manuscripts for Able Muse Press’ general publication stream (outside of contests), with expected release timeline of spring/summer next year.

This is a preliminary announcement - 'official' details coming soon - but the suspects might be known in these quarters, and I'm letting them man (or woman) their own thunder ... so, they might jump in or jump out to fill in their own details.

Cheers,
...Alex

Well, I am still absorbing this, having only learned of it yesterday ....

Alex has kindly accepted my full-length manuscript, "Nevertheless" for publication. It seems fitting after all these years, having cut my teeth here on the sphere, that my book should be published by Able Muse. I'm grateful to Alex, and to all those here who have been so vocal in their appreciation -- and disappointment -- in my work, and specifically toward my hybrid approach to the art. So, to all of you from the early days
in the wild west, thank you, for lettin' me, be myself ...

Am very curious to know who the other author is ...

Early this morning I read Alex's e-mail telling me my MS had been chosen for publication. I was thrilled beyond words.

I have many people to thank for this, not least of all Alex, who has maintained this site for so long, without which many of my poems would never have reached the "final revision" stage, thanks to the generous comments and suggestions of my esteemed fellow poets.

I also owe a world of gratitude to Rhina Espaillat who encouraged me and who steered me to the Eratosphere, which I had never heard of at the time; also Alicia Stallings who wrote in her critique of my very first posted poem at "Metrical" that it was worthy of the "Deep End" ; and Timothy Murphy, who has been an inspiration over the years.

A full-length collection is truly my dream-come-true. I feel honored that Able Muse Press has seen fit to accept it for publication.

Cathy
