Number 200: win a free chapbook
September has been a flurry of activity. We’ve just published three chapbooks in four days: Rae Gouirand’s Rough Sequence, J Swanson’s You May Unravel, and Jeffrey Skinner’s Blue Book–our 199th title since we first launched in 2007.
We’re not done yet. Several chapbooks are in production to launch very soon. Which will be our 200th title? Reply with your guess, and we’ll send a free copy of #200 to the first five readers who guess correctly.
Seriously, with so many moving parts (and you can’t spell parts without arts), we don’t even know right now who will take the 200th spot.
