closing in on the end of 2022

Unlike larger publishers we work one book at a time. Excitingly this year we were able to get all of our covers done by the end of the summer, of course Kitchell, Corrao, and Kleine (the Hot Mikes) did their own. Excited for Corrao to take on some other books next year, notably Logan's, Sara & Johannes's, and Strickland's (not going to look up how many Rs and Ts are in his name). It feels wild to be publishing all these books and to have such brilliant assistance. We continue to plug away on AUTOBIOLOGY, although it's completely designed we are doing word counts on each page instead of page #s (take that Kim Palsat), and this seems to have to be done manually. If anyone knows how to automate it in Indesign I would be forever in your debt. Finally the slog continues laying out Grant's new tome which makes the design of PERIPATET and SMUTMAKER seem like dropping THE RAINMAKER into a pdf and going golfing. Hoping it'll be done by December 31 but growing increasingly doubtful. Each spread is designed 1 by 1 and although there's a rhythm to it there are half a dozen elements that are customized on each. 

Anyway, although we haven't seen any substantive changes to Twitter, Olivia Cronk graciously invited us to participate in another blog and, having had a blog in complete isolation in the 00s, it seemed nice to supplement ItC with this.
