Thanks to all of you who’ve been following THE BOOK I WILL WRITE.  Here’s the great news: I’ve gotten word from publisher Dan Cafaro that Atticus Books will publish TBIWW as a serial novel on its website starting the week of July 9.  A press release and Q&A will accompany the roll-out.  Who’d have thought a blog about a would-be writer trying all the wrong ways to get a book published would find a publisher who wants to publish it as a serial novel?  Atticus Books is brilliant.

If you haven’t heard of Atticus Books, they’re a terrific young indy company publishing some great new voices.  Check out their website and please buy their books.

And while you’re at it, check out Atticus Review, the literary journal arm of Atticus Books.  It’s updated weekly with some of the best poetry, fiction, and nonfiction you’ll find on the internet.  Not long ago, they published my story “Song for the Deaf.”

Thanks again for reading the early chapters of TBIWW.  I hope you’ll all follow the novel’s progress starting in July.  What’s exciting about the project is that as a novel TBIWW is very much a seat-of-the-pants contraption, so you’ll get to see it unfold in almost real-time, and you’ll be welcome to make suggestions.  I greatly appreciate this experiment by Atticus Books and would like to drive truckloads of traffic to their website, so when the time comes, please tell everyone you know.
