(Well, close to done. But we have a sizeable number of both chapbooks made.) You can actually go to our order page and we'll get your chapbook(s) in the mail to you asap! 

We'll also be at the AWP Conference in Chicago next week. Come by the Sweet/University of South Florida table (B8) to buy your copies directly from us. We'll have limited supplies with us, so it's first-come, first-served. We'll be selling them there for $10/each, and yes, we will be able to take credit/debit cards! 

Boundless thanks and kudos to the people who actually put the books together, sewing, stamping, and generally being artful book-makers:  Claire Stephens and Gloria Munoz. You guys rock.

We plan to release both titles in e-book form in June, 2012.  ]]><![CDATA[Making Sweet Chapbooks]]>Mon, 06 Feb 2012 19:51:52 -0800http://www.sweetpublications.com/1/post/2012/02/post-title-click-and-type-to-edit.htmlPicture
In the last month, the Sweet Design Team has been hard at work putting together our first two chapbooks. Our talented designers and book craftspeople have drawn, printed, glued, drilled and sewed--just about anything you can do to make a book! We're proud of the finished product, but even prouder of the authors who wrote them. Wordsmiths Megan Gannon and Amy Monticello will enchant you, and we're thrilled to be part of their early literary careers, which are sure to be brilliant and successful.

Very, very soon we will have enough books finished so you can order them here. And if you're planning to be at the AWP Conference in Chicago, please come by the Sweet/University of South Florida table, space B8. Both chapbooks will be available for sale there for $10 each. 

In a few months, we'll have the e-book versions of both of these amazing books available.

August 14, 2011

In celebration of our fourth year of publication, Sweet: A Literary Confection, is expanding its ventures by publishing chapbooks by emerging writers in the upcoming year. This is a big step, an exciting one, which will not only continue our devotion to exemplary poetry and creative nonfiction, but also expand Sweet into a literary press.

Sweet Publications will be publishing two chapbooks: one in poetry and one in creative nonfiction. These books will be handmade and produced in house. They will also be available in ebook format. Publication is scheduled for February 2012.

This year’s authors are former Sweet contributors Megan Gannon and Amy Monticello.

A Witch’s Index: Spells/Incantations/Poems by Megan Gannon

The Witch’s Index is a love letter, a lifeline to women past and present. Against caustic self-criticisms and bitter disappointments, against our most inhibiting instincts and darkest demons, there is a spell.

Close Quarters by Amy Monticello 

Close Quarters reaffirms that love doesn’t always end when a marriage does. In the dim, acrid haze of smoke and booze, this broken family repair their seams, indulge or overindulge their collective penchant for nostalgia, and examine the hurt even love can’t prevent.
