We are hard at work on layout and copy for "flatmanCROOKED - First Winter." The anthology will contain new work from James Bartels, James Kaelan, Crystal Cheney, Ha Jin, David Dumitru, Jim O'Loughlin, Bessie Sweet, Thomas McCafferty, Emma Straub and a new translation by Christopher Robinson of a story by renowned authors Jorge Luis Borges and Adolfo Bioy Casares (not currently in print in English). The cover for this issue was shot by photographer Sam Jenkins.
A release party will be held in Sacramento, California on October 11th, 2008 at Newsbeat (1050 20th Street, Ste. 180 - 20th & J). A release party will be held in San Francisco, California in early November at Koko's (1060 Geary St. @ Polk). Details come soon.

Flatmancrooked Publishing, to our complete surprise and delight, has closed for the foreseeable future to all advertising. This week fmC secured an underwriter for the entire season (5 releases) and, in accordance with our hair-brained ideals, will not be putting ads in the print anthology. Instead, each book will be filled full with electric fiction and irresponsible extras that will, most likely, incite hate mail. We know you'll love it.

We've maintained a steady pace publishing online pieces, but now will be posting a new story every week. As a stopgap measure, and we think a damn fine idea, we'll soon be working with at least one columnist/blogger/journalist who will produce and publish on the site once a week. Following the grand election, our Sacramento release is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 8th, our San Francisco release for Nov. 15th, and our Los Angeles release to follow shortly after. We've recently acquired James Bartels' Flag Day (our new favorite holiday) and Jim O'Loughlin's Bartleby the Temp for print. Miss these and be filled full with regret.

flatmanCROOKED has obtained a story from Ha Jin. A recipient of the PEN/Faulkner, PEN/Hemmingway & National Book Award, Ha Jin's work has made him one of the most distinguished living Chinese-American writers. His new story, Children Like Enemies, will debut in "Flatmancrooked - First Winter," slated for release on November 15th. Ha Jin's new collection of short fiction, which will include Children Like Enemies, is due out in 2009.
