"The whole experience was mind-bogglingly exciting, if feverish for us as a new publisher, but it also gave us an appetite for the rewards of devoting ourselves to a single project a year."

Terrific news! I can't stop smiling thinking of all the lucky @UNCWCRW students current & future, lucky readers of @LookoutBooks, and lucky authors who will get to work with the brilliant @_SaidTheKat and Emily Louise Smith. Three cheers for KaToya!
We’re thrilled to welcome @_SaidTheKat as our new editor! Formerly an editor and Jeff Baskin Writers Fellow at @oxfordamerican, KaToya will acquire new titles for our list, as well teach courses in @UNCWCRW’s program in publishing arts.
