[Rose Novick]

Hi friends, I haven't been around in a while, and now I am shamelessly popping back in to self-promote because: I wrote a book (!?), and the book will be published (?!?), and the press that will publish it has just made it available for pre-order (!!?!!!). So if you wanted to do that you could do so at this link:

https://www.finishinglinepress.com/p...y-rose-novick/

Many of the poems in it were workshopped here. The vast majority, in fact. It is a better book for your collective efforts. Thank you all.

I suppose this is also where I say that, while I expect to make negative to no money on this thing, the royalties I receive are tiered based on pre-order sales (more preorders --> I get a higher cut). So: (1) don't buy it unless you think you might want to read it, but (2) if you do buy it, may I suggest pre-ordering it?

It releases in March 2023.

Hot stuff, Rose! A first book is better than a first kiss (for some)!

[Chris O'Carroll]

Congratulations, Rose. Finishing Line is a good press.

[Sarah-Jane Crowson]

Congratulations! A book is always good to hear about.

Congrats Rose! That's excellent news.

You sounded a bit uncertain in the thread title, so I was glad to find it was a definite thing when I clicked on the link. And as Walter says, it has a great cover.

Thank you, Matt : )
