I wrote an article about DIY Publishing and Blood Pudding Press for local Columbus, Ohio based ezine, 'The Outer Belt'; please feel free to check it out on pages 16-18 of the issue. I also contributed a piece about sponsoring a local independent horror film (BREAK by CutThroat Entertainment), which you can partake of via pages 30-31 of the same issue:

Stay tuned for another DIY Publishing article, focusing on feminist poetry publishing, and featuring various small presses, in an upcoming issue of make/shift magazine.
Blood Pudding Press is currently in the process of printing out the innards of the next print chapbook--'The Spare Room' by Dana Guthrie Martin. Coming soon. After that project reaches fruition, I will be focusing my publishing energies on my participation in the dusie kollektiv 4.
Meanwhile, I continue to read submissions for and update the blog-style literary magazine, Thirteen Myna Birds; just scroll down to the last few entries here for the last few links.
If you're interested in news tidbits including my own recently published poems, check out my personal/poetry blog, DOPPELGANGRENE, via the handy dandy right sidebar link. Lots of other nifty links to play around with thereabouts, too. And my own very latest poetry chapbook, FONDANT PIG ANGST, to be published by Slash Pine Press in mere months, is currently in production. Hurrah!

Monday update: Even more Blood Pudding Press (and small press galore) goodness! Amongst various other small press editors/publishers, I participated in a roundtable discussion about chapbook publishing and related matters, which is now published at The Chapbook Review:

exciting news tidbit--is there pig in frosting?
Actually, it's more than a tidbit or at least it feels so to me.
I'm not in a good place to elaborate much now (my head has been aching all day, which is quite unrelated to the news tidbit), but I can't resist at least making mention.
Another young, independent press, the very appealing Slash Pine Press, has chosen to publish my chapbook manuscript FONDANT PIG ANGST! I'm very excited by this news!
I submitted this manuscript to them during their June Open Reading Period; a few weeks back, they listed the titles of the finalist manuscripts and I was delighted and honored to see my title on the list.
Now I've found out that my manuscript is one of only two chosen to be published during their 2009-2010 season. Wow!
Read the announcement on the Slash Pine Press blog:
http://www.slashpinepress.blogspot.com
Woohoo!
While you're the Slash Pine blog, check out some other entires, too; they have a really nifty hike/poetry reading even in the works, for example.
Also, I really like their Mission Statement (part of the reason I submitted my manuscript there): "Slash Pine Press locates itself as an intellectual space where forms and intuitions make writing a process of risk and otherness. Neither cynical nor rhetorically meek, the work is concerned with but not limited by the map; its logic is global, written against the grain of history and biography."
My favorite part is "a process of risk and otherness".

In much less delightful and far more annoying news, I had to remove the Site Meters from all my blogs the other day, due to some new cookie issue I was having with Site Meter (kept getting redirected to Google Image search with my blog url suddenly preceded by dgspecificlick or something like that). Would anyone like to recommend another free stat counter?

indie presses
I updated my list of 'other indie presses' (right hand side bar), but if I forgot your press, feel free to let me know and I'll add you (and please also feel free to add Blood Pudding Press to your list). I know there are oodles of delightful small presses out there and it can be a challenge to stay on top of you all. I'm especially intrerested in independent, poetry-oriented presses that publish chapbooks and small books, but will probably add to the list any small press that drops me a line.

Also, just a little reminder for interested parties that I do have a newish personal/poetry blog at http://doppelgangrene.blogspot.com/ where I sometimes write about Blood Pudding Press stuff, sometimes write about my own personal poetry stuff, and sometimes write about other literary matters.

P.S. In other indie press related news, I only have ONE copy remaining of MONDO CRAMPO, my recent pussylicious poeyry chapbook published through the dusie kollektiv 3. Here's a mini review by poet/editor Brooklyn Copeland:
‘The design is cool and the poems are so very Juliet Cook. Meaning, I can't read them before bed or before eating. I can safely read Juliet's poems between the hours of 12p and 4p. I love how inventive she is. I feel like she takes all the girly dressings and yummy fixings about which I am most nostalgic, puts them in a blender with her own blood and spit, and pours them into a cupcake pan for baking.’
