Greetings, readers:

Who can believe that it’s time for midterms already? We are buckling down here at Ooligan Press to make sure that We Belong in History is the success it deserves to be. We have submitted our galley proofs to be printed and expect them to arrive at our office any day now. While we’re waiting, our editorial staff is reviewing the manuscript one last time before we submit We Belong in History to be printed. Yes, printed. I have waited a long time to say that!

Since my last update, my team and I are still in the process of contacting the teachers of our William Stafford writing contest winners. We are touching base with them to find out if any of these students would like to lend a hand in promoting We Belong in History to their particular corner of Oregon. For us,  January 1, 2014 not only marks the start of a new year, but the publication of We Belong in History as part of the William Stafford centennial celebration. Look for this collection online and in stores in the near future, or reserve your copy today.

Greetings Readers,

Four weeks down already—time flies when you’re making books. Things are moving fast now, and soon we will be able to share We Belong in History with you. Our galley proofs should arrive at our office by the end of this week. We are very excited for these galleys, as they mark one large step toward completing the entire publishing process.

Additionally, our fabulous Editing team is combing over We Belong in History one last time before we submit it to the printer.

Over the next few weeks, we will be contacting teachers who have contributed to our collection. We want to welcome them to join us at our upcoming events in preparation for the William Stafford Centennial Celebration and our  January 1, 2014 book launch.
