Untold Arkansas Launch Party at White Water Tavern

Huge thanks to White Water Tavern and Matt White for hosting the launch of Untold Arkansas: An Anthology last night.

Artwork and photography from the book were on display and attendees heard readings from five contributors: Wendy Taylor Carlisle, Saira Khan, Bethany May, Justin Booth, and Megan Blankenship.

Aside from the five readers, other contributors who were present included Meikel Church, Laura Raborn, Matt White, and Jeannie Fowler Rodriguez Stone. Ten out of fourteen is an incredible turnout and it was great to meet friends and supporters!

During the Q&A, Laura Raborn asked, “How can we help you sell books?” If you want to support the book and its contributors, here are some ways you can help:

• Purchase books for your friends and loved ones this holiday season.

• Write a review of the book on Amazon. This boosts the book up the Amazon ladder. (I know it says “currently unavailable” and have put in a request with Amazon since it was published 11/1. Don’t ask me!)

• Recommend Et Alia Press on Facebook.

• Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter (we need all the Twitter love we can get!)

THANK YOU ALL for supporting our small press for big voices.
