More Anticipated Books of 2014!

We were thrilled to see that so many of our readers celebrated and shared our first post about contributor books, which lists ten prize-winning books due out in 2014. But that list was by no means comprehensive, and we want to make sure that you also know about some of our other contributors’ forthcoming books, including a few books that have since won publication prizes, and, of course, including the fine gentlemen we publish! (In case you missed it, our last list was all women.) Cheers to our wonderful and talented contributors whose work is going to continue to make 2014 a great year!                                                                                                                    – Rebecca Morgan Frank, Editor-in-Chief
