Hi, This is Polly, a managing editor at Flying Ketchup Press. What do you think of this amazing poster? Artists and writers have always inspired each other, and here is proof. Here at Flying Ketchup Press, we have five imprints, and amazing authors and editors from each one, but today I want to share with you something near and dear to our hearts, the outreach that we do for writers our Pushcart Prize Nominees Giving Tuesday and a conference this weekend!
We don't want writers to forget a crucial part of the writing life, to celebrate your work. I mean, sometimes you need to remember your accomplishments. And sometimes, you need other writers to keep you going. That's why we're here. We continue in our fourth year of bringing writers and artists together through contests and sharable anthologies, helping creatives catch up on their dreams, their writing, and each other. We dove into this idea in 2018 rather than just getting our feet wet, and now we are celebrating our third collection of short stories that take place in wild new worlds of wonder and delight. Thanks to our contest winners for sharing their work with us. We want to honor Alex's incredible work and imagination, so we've uploaded 13 designs of posters and prints for you to enjoy and keep. (I think they even come as ornaments, mugs, bags etc.) Order them framed or unframed, on coasters, cards, and the like, starting at $21 plus S&H. All proceeds to the artist. Wait, there is more. Alex has ten signed original paintings, acrylic on canvas, valued at $500, that he is willing to let authors or friends have for $100 each plus shipping. Message him asap (@eyecough) with your address to get yours, or email us. Don't let this one get away. |

Flying Ketchup Press ® Established in 2018 to champion new and diverse voices to make room for short fiction and poetry. Our dream, to share worlds of wonder and delight. From an apocalyptic ocean to the empty void of space, from the ghosts in the human psyche to the center of the Earth. “Tales from the Deep” dares you to face what's waiting beneath. Twelve international authors reveal evocative awakenings and acts of courage. You'll visit a doctor in the high mountains of Persia, dive into the microbiology of alien moons, then foray into the dark recesses of the lives of warriors deep underground. Meet fantastical deep space travelers, hybrid creatures, and adventurers of all kinds. Featuring John Waterfall, Samantha Bolf, Natasha Reeves, Harrison Blackman, Judith Ets-Hokin, Ali Azar, Victoria Shannon, Mathilde Rybka, Martin Rothaemel, Thomas Winningham, and Brian Burt. Thanks to those who could join us for the online author launch party! You can find it on our FB page. |
