Suzette Mayr talked to the Calgary Herald and reporter Eric Volmers about the process of creating her new novel, Monoceros, in the Sunday, April 17 edition.
In the feature article, Mayr talks about the events that inspired the novel, disenfranchised grief, Catholic schools and (of course) unicorns. Here's a sample:
On Sunday, September 6, the Toronto Star profiled Coach House founder and 'head coach' Stan Bevington, giving special attention to Coach House Press's recent purchase of the building.
Upon the purchase of the Coach House, Coach House Press was profiled in The Varsity, the University of Toronto's student paper. Journalist Charlotte Tombs spoke to head coach Stan Bevington and senior editor Alana Wilcox about the publishing house, located on the U of T campus.
Mike Blouin, author of the novel Chase and Haven, was recently interviewed by Spencer Gordon of Broken Pencil. You can read the full interview online here, but we've put a taste below:
Capital Xtra!, Ottawa's LGBT biweekly paper, ran a profile on author and artist Sherwin Tjia on April 15, 2009. The profile, written by Lorraine Garrison, paid special attention to Tjia's poetry collection The World Is A Heartbreaker.
In addition to being the start of the summer movie season, a time for flowers and the last name of Rod Stewart's friend Maggie, May is also the month of Doors Open Toronto and the start of Book Expo America! But here's the thing about May: it's the fifth month of the year, and as such (and because we're stumped for sale ideas), we're taking a fifth of the price off every title on the Coach House site!
From May 30 to June 1, the largest publishing event in North America – Book Expo America (or 'BEA' to those in 'the biz') – is hosted at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City, and Coach House will be there. Like every year, the Expo provides booksellers and publishing industry workers a preview of exciting new things happening in the world of books.
