Hi everyone,
We are gearing up for a busy Fall at Elation Press. The cover you see of CAST magazine is one of my favourites -- it is the Summer of 2011 and the picture is by an awesome Victoria photographer named Will Winter.
Can you believe that it's September? After a whirlwind Summer bustling and brimming with a plethora of activity, we anticipate an amazing Fall season that will be even busier. Yes! We love publishing CAST magazine and we now have four book titles that will inspire you: John Hill's Spiritual Truths That Will Set You Free; King of Hearts by Rod Ellis; The Hand that Writes the Love Song also Holds a Gun by Lesley Richardson with David Richardson; Neil Lemke's book of poetry, The Fields of Life and more to come ...
As a writer and a publisher, I am elated when a project that I've seen on a computer screen is breathed into print. The penultimate experience for you, as an author, is holding that labour of love in your hands for the very first time.
Fall is a time for new beginnings and ample creativity. I hope this season will bring richness and discovery for you.
xo,
Natalie
Hi everyone,
It is production time for CAST magazine, Summer 2013. Exciting! After months of reading submissions, carefully choosing our Feature Photographer, finding out what's inspiring Vancouver Island, we will have the magazine out soon. It still feels like Christmas whenever our graphic designer e-mails me a proof. I never get tired of that wonderful feeling of elation.
We are thrilled to announce that The Fields of Life, by Comox Valley poet, Neil Lemke, will soon be in stores for you to purchase. Neil is a gifted poet who deftly weaves verse into a reader's soul. His creative use of metaphor and mastery of rhythm are remarkable. Details of how to purchase the book will be on our website in the near future.
We have revamped our website: please go check it out and give us feedback. You can visit www.elation-press.com
Did you know that Elation Press has published or assisted with 21 publications since 2011? We can't believe it either.
Since this is our first blog of 2013 and it's June, we are going to make a conscientious effort to share more of what we're doing. The problem is usually that we're pretty busy doing what we're doing.
I would love to hear from you: e-mail me at elationpress@yahoo.ca
Signing off with a grateful heart,
Natalie
