Tarpaulin Sky Press 2010 Open Reading Period picks ...

Tarpaulin Sky Press is pleased to announce that it has selected not one but two manuscripts from the 2010 open reading period: Claire Donato’s novella, Burial, and David Wolach’s poetry collection, Hospitalogy, both of which will be published in Fall 2012. Congrats!

Claire's and David's books will join the already-scheduled publication of Joyelle McSweeney’s second book with TSky Press, a collection of short fictions entitled Salamandrine: 8 Gothics. Other forthcoming publications include Kim Gek Lin Short's second book with TSky Press, China Cowboy, coming this fall, as well as our picks from the last chapbook reading period, Claire Hero's Dollyland, and  Paula Koneazny's Installation, also coming fall/winter 2011.
