Everything at Once, and All in Good Time

Sleeping in My Jeans is officially one year out. While our official pub date is yet to be set, we’re planning on putting the book out sometime in November of 2018. To many, that would seem like a ton of time. What could you possibly do with an entire year until your book publishes? You’d be surprised.

Passing the Torch: Advice from Graduating Project Managers

At the end of every winter term, students at Ooligan Press have the opportunity to become project managers (PMs) and department leads, and a year later, they must pass the torch to next year’s students. As managers are currently in the process of training their successors, three departing project managers reflect on the challenges and achievements throughout their tenure and give advice to future Ooligan PMs.

Keeping an Open Mind About Working in Niche Publishing

Generally, when Ooligan student editors think about traipsing off into the nebulous Real World to find the editing career that the publishing program has prepared them for, they imagine working in the realm of fiction or literary nonfiction publishing. In part, this is probably because this is what Ooligan prepares us for the most. Though […]

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 […]

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 […]
