A friend started a publishing company and I'm Editor in Chief. Cicada Song Press will publish the smaller writing up to novellas. Our first book is slated to be a collection of poetry about artist members of the 27 Club. The other project I was involved with that was about them fell through so I reached out to the handful of poets I'd invited to participate and a couple of others. I had 6 poems ready and like me, they were disappointed in the failure of the other project. We are looking forward to a fall publication. Our next collection will probably be short stories.
It's been fun to get in on the ground floor for this publishing company. We have Johanna, the owner and originator, Jenni, the marketing director, and myself. I'm Editor in Chief and Secretary. Other than that we have a stable of volunteers who may be involved for the short or long term. Our website is still under construction so don't bother looking for it. When it's finished Jenni will be opening a Facebook page and we'll be posting there. I'll post on Twitter about our press. Johanna is active on Instagram and a couple of other socials. Currently I'm looking into other places to get the word out.
Keep an eye out for submission calls from Cicada Song Press in the not-so-distant future.
