Tending the Art

I love the physical book, so when we speak of Publishing that is my preference... in the long run.

In generating my own day to day writing I am satisfied with online formats, because I am not focused much on permeance as on the practical discipline... I'm content to produce the content, even if it will just languish in a drawer or on a shelf or dissipate in virtual space.

I suffer from sensory overload and it seems that creating artifacts helps me encrust the things which have crept too close to the skin. However, when it comes to other people's work, I want to be able to take my time and turn paper, page by page in any tangible format (zine, paperback, hardcover, etcetera).

So personally Publishing to me means... a home business prompted by my adoring husband who puts so much faith in my creative being (as you can read on his Prose posts!). Our company is called Bunny Village Press. It's direct print to purchase publishing, middle manned by Amazon, with no overhead, and no stock piled copies. The art, design, layout, editing, writing is done in house... We've put out three books, and have two additional in the works, one of which I hope to wrap up over Spring Break next week. I regret very much that I can't breath as much life into the venture as I would like because I work full time, and have a toddler (: the previously mentioned Rémy Niko who will be three next month :) but still reassure myself that I can do better, one day, one day! ...and for now we accept and give thanks for this Snail's pace as a success in itself. Forward motion a sign of continued momentum... God bless!
