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.
Coach House will, as of February 14, offer free digital downloads with the purchase of any print edition (provided, of course, the book currently exists in e-format). You buy one of our print books, the electronic book is yours for the taking.
Sounds great, but how does it work? One of two ways:
Coach House founder and master printer Stan Bevington is this year’s recipient of the Robert R. Reid lifetime achievement award for excellence in book art. The award is given annually by the Alcuin Society, a non-profit dedicated to preserving and celebrating Canadian contributions to print culture.
Previous Robert R. Reid recipients include former Coach House typesetter and designer Glenn Goluska.
In a two-part interview with Coach House founder and master printer Stan Bevington, Nigel Beale, from the Biblio File podcast, delves into the intriguing combination of factors that inspired Bevington's passion for print culture and took Coach House to the forefront of Canadian book design.
The interview is both a journey through the history of technologies and typefaces, as well as an advice manual for collectors seeking rare pieces of Canadiana.
