Editor's Notes
March 2003 ISSUE Vol. II, Issue #3
Rants and Grants!
The New Frontier
We're Moving! Our offices (with home and hearth being dragged along behind) are moving to Fallbrook, California! Nestled among the hills of avocado and flower farms, we will take up residence around the first week in April. Farewell, Redwoods. Adios to Humboldt County. It's been swell (to say nothing of rainy) but it's time to expand, and our location will afford us the heady company of San Diego to the south (50 minutes) and Los Angeles to the north (two hours).
Congratulate us! Lit Pot Press, Inc. has been approved for nonprofit
status under 503 (c) (b) codes which means we now qualify for GRANTS if we can swing
it. (No easy task, that). Still, it's a very big deal to get through the mountains
of red tape to reach this, and we're very pleased. This is the beginning of a small
press sojourn that is dependent on the kindness of strangers...and friends, like you.
So if you can, support our endeavors. We're in it for the love of literature.
SUBSCRIBE to Literary Potpourri's Quarterly Anthologies
As promised, we're producing our second year of anthologies for your reading pleasure, but we can't do it without your support. We need marketing, distribution, and better ways of bringing you the best literature available, but it all takes money. The wonderful sponsorship of Levenger has made beginnings possible, but we are growing fast and need additional help--your help.
We have brought the prices down by adding postage to each order instead of adding a
percentage to the total order, and by breaking out domestic postage from foreign postage
which is high indeed. The 'construction' of the prices make it look more expensive, but
please remember these prices INCLUDE POSTAGE.
ORDER NOW,
ALL PROFITS GO TO THE FUND FOR PAYING STIPENDS TO WRITERS AND GRAPHIC ARTISTS.
DEBUTS
The second book to come off the Lit Pot Press, Inc. press, the fabulous book of works by twenty new writers is also available now, at the low price
of $8.95. This little jewel is a wonderfully splendid tribute to the talents of folks
published for the first time in Literary Potpourri, in 2002. Support Lit Pot and give yourself a treat.
THE CARRINGTON MONOLOGUES
The premier book of the Literary Potpourri Poetry Series kicked off a brand new, non-profit California small press, Lit Pot Press, Inc. Written by Terri Brown-Davidson, a brilliant diva, The Carrington Monologues is a book-length series of poems about Dora Carrington--sizzingly sexy, imaginative, shocking and a glorious piece of literature.
I urge you to buy a copy and see for yourself. See the Press
