Word (On The Street) Up!

Hello there. Some of you ardent Coach House readers may have noticed our monthly e-newsletters have been a bit tardy lately. We're working out a few kinks in our system, and we'd thought we'd send a test note just before our regular October e-newsletter, a test note with a special -- and rather shortened -- message, a brief reminder of two upcoming events.

Hope you don't mind. After this special experimental e-newsletter, we resume our once-monthly schedule. Thanks for bearing with us!

The Word Is On ... On The Street

This Sunday, September 27, Toronto's Queen's Park hosts The Word On The Street. And your friends at Coach House Books will be part of this massive outdoor book festival. Please visit us at Booth #134, located at the northernmost point of the park. We'll be offering backlist titles at sale prices, and even some of our new fall books.

You can also watch some of our authors at festival stages throughout the afternoon. Cordelia Strube will read from her brand-new novel (hot off the presses) Lemon at the Great Books Marquee at 2 p.m. Matthew Tierney (The Hayflick Limit) will take part in a poetry reading and discussion on 'The Alchemy of Language' with fellow poets Jacob McArthur Mooney and A.F. Mortiz at 4 p.m. (also at the Great Books Marquee). And our Toronto Book Award nominee Maggie Helwig will read from her nominated book, Girls Fall Down, in the City of Toronto Tent at both noon and 4 p.m.

Spend your Sunday with Coach House Books at The Word On The Street. If you're into books, it's the place to be!

And don't forget our big fall launch!

One last request before we go: mark your calendar for October 15. On that date, Coach House Books will launch its new fall titles in style at Stones Place (1255 Queen Street West). It's a coming-out party for Cordelia Strube's Lemon, David Derry's Sentimental Exorcisms, Susan Holbrook's Joy Is So Exhausting, Kate Hall's The Certainty Dream and the anthology Prismatic Publics, edited by Kate Eichhorn and Heather Milne.

The night, hosted by Coach House senior editor (and emcee extraordinaire) Alana Wilcox, will feature short readings from the fall authors (and from Margaret Christakos, representing Prismatic Publics) and is sure to generate a lifetime of amusing anecdotes and treasured memories. You won't want to miss it.
