LCRW + a Chapbook

Fri 29 Aug 2025 - Filed under: Not a Journal., | Leave a Comment| Posted by: Gavin

Thank you Jenny Z. for asking if we offered LCRW subscriptions with a chapbook but without chocolate. My answer: Um, no.

For some reason when I made that little list of serious-to-silly offerings some time ago (and even during the many remakings) it never struck me to offer a chapbook with the first issue of the zine.

Ok, so now here it is.

Or: a 4-issue sub with 1, 2, 3, or 4 chapbooks(!).

We have:

  • two Greer Gilman Ben Jonson chapbooks,
  • one by Hal Duncan (illustrated by Eric Schaller),
  • one by Benjamin Rosenbaum (with illustrations from Peter Reiss),
  • and one by Margo Lanagan (illustrated by Kathleen Jennings),

so please don’t forget to say which one(s) you’d like. I’ve just done (most of) the Jan-Jun 2025 royalties and most of these authors get a little payment each time.


Dammit, I Missed the 20-year Anniversary of Our Oldest Unpaid Invoice

Excellent that the search function, while messy, thanks Google, still works well enough for me to find this rather than having to page down through the Not Journalling Updates Page. I was putting together the Book Moon monthly bestseller list for Locus when I remembered that I’d posted a while back about the 10-year anniversary of our oldest invoice.

Ten years? A blink of a fruit fly’s eye! Twenty years? Now we’re getting somewhere. I long ago figured the bookstore mustn’t have sold any copies of the zine or the chapbooks — they should have ordered copies of Kelly’s chapbook 4 Stories — maybe they did, I’m not going to go find out — but they could have returned them. I’d be happy to have a few extra copies around.

Anyway, as with everything (except wishing death to stingy billionaires and those who declare who is human and who isn’t), time has removed any sting from this and now it’s just here to amuse. 20 years? A dog’s yawn! Looking forward to 30.


Announcing an Exit . . . Pursued by a Bear!

Thu 12 Jun 2014 - Filed under: Not a Journal., , , , | Posted by: Gavin

Exit, Pursued By a Bear coverWe have very good news for Ben Jonson fans, and even better for Greer Gilman’s! Greer is back with a new novella, Exit, Pursued by a Bear, featuring none other than Jonson and Henry Stuart, heir to the throne and, sadly, tone dead in his dealings with the Unseen World.

Once again Kathleen Jennings — who won a Ditmar Award for her art this past weekend! — has provided the art, but this time for the front and the back cover. Exit will be available in print and ebook editions this September, but don’t be too surprised if we have earrrrly copies at Readercon in July since Greer will be there and can do a reading.
