I was picking brains about this last night at MPIBA in Denver, and I’ve come away thinking this: libraries now won’t have a distributor, and the existing distributors have no incentive to broaden their business to serve libraries since the benefits to them are so limited and the costs so great.

I listened to oral arguments today. It was interesting. To be clear: they wouldn’t be overturning bans on conversion therapy in general but on conversion talk therapy in particular. I can’t see the arguments I heard (1st amendment-grounded) holding water, though. We will see. I hope they reject em.

(This is why I don’t work in writing or editing after dark.)

God. Can you tell I wrote that after brain-function hours? Ugh.

Got to hang out with Torrey House Press tonight. They are an awesome Utah-based publisher and have contributed to a great education. I’ve gotten over the last few hours. I’m so glad that I came to this event. #MPIBA and a bunch of these bookstores seem really interested in #WhisperHousePress books!

Completed Silvia Mareno-Garcia's THE BEWITCHING—I highly recommend it to #readers interested in #witchy #folkhorror, #founddocuments #horror with #mystery and #historicalfiction as well as #supernatural elements. Very solid story, and I've been looking forward to it for a while! #bookreview #booksky

Notes from the desk of the editor are offered in the interests of personal posterity and transparency for writers and other potential editors who wish to learn from my experience. the editor Greetings from nearly 9,000 feet in Silverthorne, Colorado! I'm traveling this week (thank you, PTO, for sacrificing three of your precious ten days for the publishing cause) to attend the Mountains and Plains Independent Bookseller Association FallCon in Denver.

The drive from Salt Lake to Denver is one of my favorites. Headed to the #MPIBA fallcon to meet #indiebookstore owners and fellow #publishers large and small. Yay! #whisperhousepress is on the move!

Really wanted to catch this at Sundance but missed out! Glad it’s making the rounds and hope I get a chance to see it.

I highly recommend Wehunt’s book, OCTOBER FILM HAUNT. I was lucky to get a shot at reading it early, and I reviewed it at www.whisperhousepress.com if you want to read my take on its strengths (spoiler: it’s got a lot of strengths!).
