New eBook: Fire On Her Tongue: An eBook Anthology of Contemporary Women's Poetry

Annette Spaulding-Convy & I have spent the last year editing this eBook anthology of poetry from some of the most incredible poets writing today and on December 28th, it became available for sale on Amazon.com

The Details--

What:  Fire On Her Tongue: An eBook Anthology of Contemporary Women's Poetry
(Two Sylvias Press, 2012)

A 460-page eBook anthology of poems by women poets writing today.
It is the FIRST eBook anthology of contemporary women poets and features over 70 women poets writing today.

Why:  Annette and I both purchased eReaders and were discouraged by how few poets were represented on this technology.

Where:  Currently available as an eBook on Amazon.com (for your Kindle), Barnes & Noble (for your Nook), iBooks and coming soon to IndieBound.org, eBooks.com, Powell's, Sony Reader Store and many other eBook outlets.

And the best part of this anthology besides the most incredible poets involved, is that all of this amazing talent and 460 pages of poems can be yours for $7.99 (no kidding).

One thing Annette & I wanted to do was to bring poetry to a larger audience, so we priced it lower than what we believe it's worth.  We want more people to know about these poets and to read their poems. We wanted this anthology on every eReader, so we priced it not so we could vacation in the French Riviera, but so we could cover costs.  

It was truly a fulfilling and challenge project.  We have learned so much about eBook production.  We worked with PublishGreen.com to help with the challenges that come with formatting poems and they were absolutely incredible, professional, and really helped us so much with this first project (I would highly recommend them if you choose to publish your own eBook as they work with individual authors as well.)

I know I'll be blogging more about this, but I wanted you to know that it's here.  

I'll also post when it's available by PDF as we've learned the #1 eReader in America is the laptop!  

Happy Reading!
