Marketing and Publicity with Mary Bisbee-Beek

Mary Bisbee-Beek is an independent book publicist who specializes in marketing and foreign rights. I am lucky enough to be working with her on a new title from Ooligan Press, A Series of Small Maneuvers. Mary kindly spoke with me about her career, how she got into book publicity, and what she’s doing now. I […]

Wordstock 2015: Talking About Books

On an early November morning, I awoke eager to divide my day working for Literary Arts in the morning and Ooligan Press in the afternoon. After a quiet MAX ride, I made my way to the lobby of the Portland Art Museum’s historic Mark Building, where I found two other Wordstock volunteers awaiting instructions. Wordstock […]

Putting Her on the River (Part Three)

I didn’t make the NaNoWriMo goal, not even close. I think I accumulated just over ten thousand words. There were all those assignments to grade, more trips to lead, and a Thanksgiving break with the in-laws. I also had no idea how to write a young adult novel, or any kind of novel really. My […]

Putting Her on the River (Part Two)

We hiked out of the canyon the next day, the last of the water from Page Springs sloshing around in water bottles and CamelBaks. Even in November, even before it was too late in the day, the heat felt punishing. Again, the hike kicked everyone’s butt, but it kicked a few students extra hard, and […]

Putting Her on the River: How A Series of Small Maneuvers Came to Be (Part One)

We came upon the family at one of the switchbacks. This was on the trail down to Page Springs in the Grand Canyon. The four of them—what appeared to be a mom, dad, and pair of girls—were tucked against a rock wall, catching what little shade there was. The awkward vibe that we’d interrupted a […]

What’s Behind an Ooligan Cover?

What’s Behind an Ooligan Cover?

Last winter, Ooligan students were far too busy to notice Portland’s infamous rain—-we were hard at work on one of publishing’s most demanding creative challenges: designing the cover that will grace one of Ooligan’s forthcoming titles when we send it out to greet the world. Having worked on the editorial team for Ooligan’s upcoming young […]
