La Manz Anthology 2019
Posted by Shannon Evans on September 5, 2019, 9:09 pm
I want to say thank you to all who have submitted poetry, prose, and photography for the first annual La Manzanilla Anthology! It has been an amazing response to my call for submissions. I am still waiting for a few pieces to come in from a few folks who are still out on summer holidays but so far the book is going to be over 200 pages! Let me say this book is a labor of love. I am just over the moon with how talented so many of our winter "regulars" are! I will have a book cover reveal in the next few weeks as soon as David Daglioli gets some photos to our art director (Ian Turner). Julie is busy writing a piece on the programs La Catalina has for the children on top of her own creative pieces. Ron Stock has outdone himself as usual and has sent over several wonderful pieces for inclusion as well as some background on the history of the La Manz writing community. This project is only coming together because of the greatness of our community! If you still want to submit photos of La Manz and her beautiful people, poetry, fiction, flash fiction, non-fiction, etc. there is still time but I'd really like to have it in hand by 9/15 unless you arrange a specific date with me. You can email your work to me at pshannon.evans@gmail.com If you have any questions, don't hesitate to drop me a note hear or via email! Shannon Evans Editor The Joyful Coast An Anthology Volume I

Once I have it off to the printer for a proof I will be looking for a site or two for a book signing to kick off sales and to celebrate the many contributors! Shannon | -------------------Re: La Manz Anthology 2019

Hi Shannon, Quite the project you have taken on, sounds like fun (I hope it has been and continues to be). Nothing like creating (or compiling) to get a hit of feel good (dopamine) Best to you.

Thanks Daniel! But I think the best feeling is going to be when folks have the books in hand and reading them on the beach, discussing the contents over breakfast, and buying some to take home for gifts and knowing that they helped pay for school books for the kids in the village. I can't wait to get the proof off so I can post a cover reveal here. Now where shall we do the book launch in the village??? See you soon! Shannon

Book launch . . . Casa Luz? . . . where several literary events are hosted each year? | -------------------Re: La Manz Anthology 2019

I prefer someplace more readily accessible to those with physical challenges and that would fit more people. Casa Luz is lovely but the stairs can be challenging for some. | -------------------Re: La Manz Anthology 2019

Thanks for doing this project! When you get into town I'd like to show you a small booklet we did in 1999. Hope you can use a little piece of history and a photo I sent you today by email. | -------------------Did you receive my photos?
