New Kid on the Block -- Impetus Press

Since this here underpublished author feels there are never enough indie presses, I'm passing along this release:

I’m writing to invite you to a reading on October 29th at the Sunday Salon Chicago reading series featuring Impetus Press authors Kate Hunter (Brooklyn, NY), author of THE DREAM SEQUENCE, and Jennifer Banash (Iowa City, IA), author of HOLLYWOODLAND: AN AMERICAN FAIRY TALE. These two titles are the first releases from Impetus Press, a new independent publishing house located in Iowa City, IA that is dedicated to publishing works of serious literary fiction with a pop or urban edge that fall in-between the genres of experimental and commercial fiction.

The reading will be held at The Charleston Bar, 2076 N. Hoyne in Bucktown, starting at 7:30 pm on Sunday, the 29th of October. Books will be for sale at a nicely discounted price and both authors will be more than happy to sign a copy for you. We hope to see you there and be sure to invite a friend[s].

If you run an events calendar, I would greatly appreciate if you would post our event.

I hope to see you there,

The timing of the arrival of this press release is particularly fortuitous, given the fact that for the past few weeks I've been preparing the manuscript of my short story collection for entry in a contest held by Minnesota indie publisher, only to discover just this morning that the contest is limited to residents of Minnesota and New York City. (Because, you know, NYC writers have so few outlets for their work.) So rather than let this manuscript gather dust, the good folks at Impetus may very well be getting a query/proposal from me shortly.
