I've come up with a couple of stretch goals! One of them is poems!

A small custom made wooden box. The poem as a label on the front and the rotation instructions inside. Need to see wood I have around.

A rather different artist book. Heck of a thing to keep in order while creating. Will be building a box eventually to hold it.

6 images showing small wooden bloks in rotartion with acrylic paint on the face and letters stamped one by one to spell - "The queen of butterfly collectors, in a house of gold, feeds all clocks with quiet sorrow".

"The queen of butterfly collectors, in a house of gold, feeds all clocks with quiet sorrow". Printed on blocks, each block is then rotated 90deg to read the next 12 letters and so on, through 6 rotations

sigh … long, not king

You are quick

Intriguing and makes me think i need then six segments, each 12 letters king

Two possibles:

I wear the whisper of waves
I am exhausted in the arc of night
A scent of honey is in my hand

The queen of butterfly collectors
in a house of gold
feeds all clocks with quiet sorrow

This is for a weird flavor of artist book I am developing using wooden blocks.

Needing a poetic/interesting sentence exactly 72 letters long. No numbers. Commas etc are not part of the count. Possibly having to do with color but not critical. Will have a think on this.

Three weeks left for the OC submission period.

Welcome to our corner of the indie publishing world. Check out our book selection here - aanpress.com/aanorder.html

Thinking about the possible OC (later this year, if at all, depends on finances) wil call for modern interpretations, 200-500 words, and pastiches of course. Would allow me to stuff the issue full of S&S pithy gems.

5 vintage pulp black and white fantasy illustrations with red/blue filtering applied to make them 3D

With more AaNX newspapers selling, I am starting to mull over issue #5 which will contain micro-sword & sorcery stories and 3D IMAGES. Running some tests today. If you have a pair of red/blue glasses you should be able to see these. Really whacks my eyes out.

Perhaps I'll put the needle on the record one of these years.

Potentially misheard 80s song lyrics that would make an excellent anthology theme:
"automatic push button remote control, synthetic genetics command your soul"

Cover showing a dour faced young woman with daisy flower barrettes. The book title - Tall Tales of the Holy Terror Tomboy - is shown in an vintage storefront logo painting format in a brass color. Text on the back of the book outlines the real life girl's amazing story.

Appreciate you giving them a good home. Happy reading.

“Have a book, leave a book, need a book, take a book”. This would actually make a fine motto on the door of a little free library.

24 based on word count/rate per word. If a number of stories are chosen that are under 2000 words, it may provide some leeway for a longer story or a couple of extra authors beyond the 24

I’ll start: @unlikelyworlds.bsky.social Can’t wait to read your new book Loss Protocol. Arrived by mail a few days ago and is next in my pile.

It is World Book Day. Buy a book from an indie press, leave a review for an author, or social media post to a beloved author and make their day.

It is fun to see where people are writing from as the map fills in.
