We will be unable to ship books from December 20th through January 4th as we'll be on vacation. If you should need a book during those days, please stop by Small Press Distribution SPD SITE

For those awaiting our next release by Mark Tursi. As is typical, we've fallen behind due to our full time jobs as teachers. It seems that each semester brings new chaos! So is the life of the independent publisher. It is in the lay out process and should be printed in January. We apologize but we only have so many hands!

If you'd like to be added to our mailing list please email us your email address through our contact page.

For those of you who celebrate holidays, we wish you the best holidays ever. For those of you who do not, we wish you the best days off and warm nights.

We've all but finished the layout of Mark Tursi's new book, BRUTAL SYNECDOCHE and it's looking quite lovely. As it is with a limited staff such as ours...ahem...things get delayed. However, we don't want to compromise on the books and want them to look their best. This book has lovely cover art by John Ashbery! We think you'll love it.

David Gruber's second collection of poems, ORRERY, will be published early in 2012 This book will have artwork by the amazing Vanessa Davis! If you're not familiar with her work, you should be. Here's a link to her site . She's provided us with a beautiful cover and we're most excited about this release.

As the past few releases (minus CONTAGION) have been poetry, we will begin looking for fiction soon. Please keep an eye on our submissions page for this update. There will also be a Book contest for fiction in the next year.

We're happy to announce that we have received CONTAGION AND OTHER STORIES from the printer! We will begin shipping pre-orders this week. Spread the word and have your friends buy one of my favorite books of all time!

As the summer finally comes grinding to a halt (not in Florida yet sadly), we are busy once again at Astrophil. It was a long year of trying to restructure and prefigure our plans for the future, and an even longer summer of travel with few updates, but we've arrived in the bay of Autumn and we're back down to business! We've got some great news.

CONTAGION is at the printer and should begin shipping in the next couple weeks. Hardback editions will be a bit longer. If you pre-ordered a hardback edition, we will send you a paperback to keep you company and ship your hardback when they are printed. This way you'll have a version of CONTAGION to take to work and one to keep on the shelf in a protective cover...what are we the only ones that do that?

We are currently working on the layout of Mark Tursi's new book, BRUTAL SYNECDOCHE. We are hoping to have this available in October. It has cover art by John Ashbery!

David Gruber's second collection of poems, ORRERY, will be published by the end of the year as well...

It's been a very busy summer for us here at Astrophil Press. I was out of the country for some time playing music and now I have returned to the busy summer semester. We have finally finished the artwork for the Brian Evenson book and hope to send it to print very soon. We will send emails to all the people who bought pre-orders months ago when we have a more definite release date. For now...here's a little sneak peek at the book!

It is with a heavy heart that I write this letter. Our original goal for publishing Brian Evenson's by the spring of 2011 has ultimately failed. There were several delays on our part in editing and in formatting and for this we apologize to all of those who pre-ordered copies. At this point, all is ready to go; however, we are waiting on the final cover art work, which has hit an unforeseen snag. I was hoping to send the books out to everyone before I left the country; however, this will not be a possibility.

The book is coming out and will be available by the end of the summer, regardless of my trip. I will be on tour in Europe with a musical group and will return at the end of this month. Once home, we will send the book to the printer. To make up for all of the delays, we will include a special gift in everyone's order.

This trip also means we will not be taking web orders directly from the site until July. If you need to order a title, please go to http://www...
