Noveltown to attend May 28 Small Press Book Fair - By N.L. Belardes

This summer Noveltown is busy growing and expanding. You'll read very soon how we've expanded deeper into the world of poetry with the likes of S.A. Griffin and Rafael Alvarado as poetry co-editors for our magazine. There's also some interesting partnership developments you might like that we'll tell soon. Later this summer we're releasing next issue of the Noveltown Review featuring the London Brutalists. Also late in the summer we'll be attending literary events, including the Yosemite Writers Conference. But first...

This weekend we'll be in Santa Monica for a great Indie Literary Press event. We'll be on hand with Cardoza Muller Productions for a talk at 1:50pm.
