spring

Many mornings this winter were spent wrapping and sending brown paper parcels. The days ended with hot soup, crusty bread, and candlelight, reading under wooly blankets, sipping port. I also did a whole mess of editing, producing, and planning new books. 

Our newest release, 005 // AUTUMN WANDERERS, my first contribution to Two Plum Press as an author, is now complete and available to order in our bookshop. 

This spring/summer will see the release of three more books, shortly followed in the summer by a few more. I am pleased to announce these titles:

006 // DOWN AND OUT ON A YACHT by Delphine Bedient 

007 // ALL IN BLACK BLOOD MY LOVE WENT RIDING by Ross Robbins

008 // VISITING THE GOOD LIFE by Andrew Barton

We've been busy producing more copies of our first four titles and preparing to distribute them. We have also steadily been working on the next batch.

The next title released by Two Plum Press will be...

005 // AUTUMN WANDERERS by Andrew Barton

A collection of travel writing– "word polaroids" documenting a trip to Europe last autumn. The re-edited and expanded print version of a blog kept during the trip. It will include 12 color photo plates– one to represent each location visited. 

We also have titles by Delphine Bedient, Ross Robbins, Zoe Donnelycolt, Emily Tariela, Christopher Maday, and JaNeill Weseloh in the works.

Portland Zine Symposium

Two Plum Press tabled at this year's Portland Zine Symposium August 10th & 11th, and the slim volume series was debuted there!

The event culminated 5 solid months of editing, designing, experimenting, testing, failing, reconfiguring, printing, cutting, folding, and everything in between.

We had limited supply of each title, and nearly sold out of all of them. Thanks to everyone who looked at the books, asked questions, made purchases, shared a moment with me under those horrid fluorescent lights.
