Short Stories and Small Presses

Short stories have long been considered something of a necessary evil in the world of publishing. It is a truism that “short stories don’t sell,” and the major publishing houses are usually reluctant to take on any anthology that doesn’t feature at least one superstar author. A small-scale press, on the other hand, can be […]

Digital Design Choices for Ooligan Anthologies

In an Ooligan blog post last fall, I talked a little about how working with Untangling the Knot: Queer Voices on Marriage, Relationships & Identity has been a welcome challenge for the editing department. Working with a nonfiction anthology provides a host of new demands for editors—creating cohesiveness without sacrificing individuality, speaking consistently toward a […]

Untangling the Knot: The Market is Ready!

Following the release of Ooligan Press’s queer anthology Untangling the Knot: Queer Voices on Marriage, Relationships & Identity, one question has been on my mind: is this book targeting a niche market, or has the LGBTQ niche finally become “mainstream?” There’s evidence to suggest that works centering around characters of diverse gender and sexual identity […]

An Interview with Meagan Lobnitz: Project Manager of Untangling the Knot

It was a gray and colder-than-normal day as we gathered for the last Ooligan Press executive meeting of Winter 2014. We were selecting a new title for an in-house originated project, which, up until that point, had been called More than Marriage. One title in particular was almost unanimously picked, and Untangling the Knot: Queer […]

Editing Anthologies the Oolie Way

Each project that we take on at Ooligan Press is uniquely challenging to its student workers. At this very moment, students in the graduate program are dividing their attention between books on historical nonfiction, young adult fiction, and single- and multi-authored literary nonfiction in both long and short forms. Because Ooligan is staffed by graduate […]

Bringing <i>More than Marriage</i> from idea to reality

Last spring, the pitch for the anthology More than Marriage was delivered to the Ooligan staff and voted into development. Since then, the team has been working on submission collection and getting the nuts and bolts of prepublication completed. Kate, the project manager for the anthology, has been keeping a record of the weekly goings-on […]
