Reading and reviewing for the #100smallpress project was a thrill. I already knew small presses were publishing interesting, adventurous, important books, but this project solidified that. Watch for the list of 100 Notable Small Press Books on Dec 1st in Lithub.

I have always loved books. It's still amazing to me that after 37 years of writing and about 50 years of reading, I added to the ocean of books out there. I am grateful to each and every person who has or will read AMERICAN ANIMISM, or the forthcoming BODIES IN BAGS. Just feeling grateful.

NEW ANTHOLOGY CALL!

After our upcoming Terry Allen incited anthology we were gonna cool it for a bit on our music-incited anthologies because we have a lot on our publishing plate here.

But eff it. Right now the world needs all the inspiration from Woody Guthrie it can get.

Just a reminder that if you enjoy a book, please leave a quick review on Amazon or Bookshop dot org, or wherever. Even if it's only a sentence, it really, really helps get the word out to other readers.

Just finished writing the first blurb I've ever been asked to write. What an honor. I can't wait to spread the word about this collection of stories.

This is a super-cool collection of short stories. GOD-DISEASE by An Chang Joon. Published by @sarabandebooks.bsky.social

Recommend.

Hey Seán! Thanks for the interest. My publisher doesn't do ebooks. I would love to send a PDF in the hopes that you would consider giving it a rating somewhere, but I know that's not as good as an ebook. DM me your email address if you're interested.

This is tomorrow. I'm glad I was able to find the last 14 copies of CRUMBLEHEAD, which won the Gambling the Aisle Chapbook contest back in 2013.

Jamey Gallagher @jameygallagher.bsky.social · Aug 30

I will be tabling at the 2025 Baltimore Book Festival in two weeks, September 13 and 14, with copies of AMERICAN ANIMISM and my chapbook CRUMBLEHEAD, and whatever @egallagher.bsky.social has to offer, which is a bunch of cool stuff.
