The Small Press & the Self-Publisher: lessons learned from Ligatures

I'm not what you'd call an avid fiction writer, even though I've been writing stories since the age of five, so that makes thirty years now. In my adult life, I've written one and a half novels, eight short stories, three children's books, and a whole lot of nonfiction, either magazine essays or academic literature.

“Lots of children I know are excited to grow up. So I wonder why this man was so happy to become young again?”
Sara Rich, One Night

“The language of the past is Lazarus riding backward on a black horse. What gets resurrected just has to die again.”
Sara Rich, Ligatures

“She focused her eyes on a sign along the wall, on the other side of the customs desk. Inside a circle of white stars, in big red letters it said, 'Welcome to the United States of America.' And on the second line in blue letters, 'Fifty States United under the One True God, in Whom We Trust.' Stanza furrowed her brows and read the sign again, slowly. The same words resounded and it dawned on her that her homeland had acquired a new motto in recent years.”
Sara Rich, Ligatures
