Homebound Publications is pleased to announce the launch of the Little Bound Books Essay Series: Personal. Poignant. Powerful.
As we expand our newest imprint, Little Bound Books, we have decided to release a series of small 4 x 6 books of contained personal essays (8000 – 9000 words). The content for this series is meant to be short but impactful. Think: Emerson’s On Nature or Self-Reliance; Thoreau’s Civil Disobedience, Barry Lopez’s Sliver of Sky, Annie Dillards’ Total Eclipse or Notes of a Native Son by James Baldwin—it is this honesty, grit, and intelligence to which we aspire.
These small book offerings will become a cornerstone of Homebound Publications within the next two years. The short form and affordable price suit the shrinking free time in which we have to read. Any books within the Little Bound Books Essay Series can easily be finished in a sitting. They are digestible yet impactful and can be offered to our readers at the affordable price of $12.00 per book. As the collection grows, we plan to offer the books in a box sets according to theme. The first 6 titles we anticipate are:
- To Lose the Madness: Field Notes on Trauma, Loss and Radical Authenticity by L.M. Browning (April 2018)
- The Comet’s Tail: A Memoir of No Memory by Amy Nawrocki (April 2018)
- A Letter to My Daughters: Remembering the Lost Dimension & the Text(ure) of Life by Theodore Richards (October 2018)
- Terranexus: Connection and Meaning in Ordinary Places by David K. Leff (October 2018)
- A Light Inside the Mountain by Jason Kirkey (October 2018)
- A Fistful of Stars by Gail Collins-Ranadive with Milt Hetrick (October 2018)
