This Holiday Season, we tabled at the Publication Fair curated and organized by Publication Studio. We were honored to be asked and so happy to come! This was where I STAYED UP LISTENING (010) got its second run, and where      T H I S (009) and MOONSTONE (011) had their debuts. I was particularly pleased that the latter two titles did very well at this fair, as they are our first books by living authors who don't live in Portland. 

My best friend from college, Asher Woodworth, familiar to readers of AUTUMN WANDERERS (005) and VISITING THE GOOD LIFE (008), was visiting. He tabled with me, as you can see. We enjoyed hearing from friends the speculation across the table of "do you think the Two Plum Press guys are dating?" I love that "Two Plum Press guys" is a thing. Also, Sofie reported that a teenager stormed over and said "Finally, I asked at the front, but nobody told me where Two Plum Press was," read every book extensively, didn't buy anything, and left.

This fall we made an appearance at Short Run in Seattle, WA. Thank you, Seattle, for being so supportive of Two Plum Press! This is where we "soft release"d our newest title, I STAYED UP LISTENING (010) by Michelle Overby. Catch a sneak-peak of the cover on the far right:

This book, as well as T H I S by Rebekah Green (009) and MOONSTONE by Emily Tareila (011) will be at available when we table at the Publication Studio-hosted book fair at The Cleaners in downtown Portland on December 14th. Come on down for your classy holiday shopping needs!

This summer we had two tabling engagements, at the Portland Zine Symposium in Portland, Oregon, and at the Anacortes Unknown Music Series Vol. IV Book Fair in Ancortes, WA. Photo evidence of PZS here:

IN SUMMARY:

We read from our books into a microphone plugged into a 1970s solid state wooden guitar amplifier. We sure hope people walking down Division St. heard us. 

Sofie made snacks directly out of her book– flavors from "Flavor." There were maple oat scones, eccles cakes, tomato jam, bread and a churn-your-own-butter activity,  Andrew picked several pounds of raspberries from the garden. Ross brought the essential 3 buck Chuck, which we wouldn't have been able to open if Delphine didn't reliably always roll with a wine key. 

The sunset was dramatic, the wind blew, we all felt free.
