We’re going to sit on this for a bit

Dear Everybody,
It’s with our heads hung low that we apologize for all of the delays surrounding Paper Egg. It’s been a crazy, busy summer, and now we’re headed into a huge fall thanks to Blake Butler’s Scorch Atlas. That said, we have to admit that Paper Egg isn’t a viable imprint for featherproof right now. [...]

Friendly scowl

Thanks to the wise Tobias Carroll for firing off a few questions about paper egg and the ‘proof. You can read my answers over at his formidable blog, The Scowl. I recommend repeatedly checking it on Thursdays for his Thursday Agitation series. Cool stuff.
To answer a few questions that have been rolling in: Your AM/PM [...]

Once more, with feeling

Wanted to let everyone know that we’re getting down to the wire with these AM/PMs. There’s still a chance to sign up and land a copy for free, which means for $20, you’ll get three books in one year, averaging out to $6 and 66 cents repeating per book. A g-durn steal.
If you’re still not [...]

Publishers Weekly has a nice news item about Paper Egg.
We’re rolling.

Our grand ol’ mothership, featherproof books, continues to publish our old-fashioned, in-bookstore list while Paper Egg takes to the mailways. Next up for the ‘proof is an incredible, collection of interlocked, mouth-watering short-short stories from the great Amelia Gray, AM/PM.
And check it out: The first 250 people who sign up for a subscription will receive [...]

Early believers

Thanks to those who have already signed on to our project, day-old as it is. A third, exciting announcement arrives tomorrow.

ANNOUNCEMENT #2: AND IN THE BEGINNING THERE WAS AN AUTHOR

So now that you know what we’re doing, how we’re doing it, it’s time to tell you what we have in store. For our first Paper Egg, we’ll be sending you The Awful Possibilities by Christian Tebordo. It’s Christian’s first collection of short stories, and anyone who’s familiar with his past work knows it’s got [...]

Announcement #1: And in the beginning, there was a designer

I thought I’d start off with a bang for our first announcement (#2 comes tomorrow), which is the following:
The Great Paul Hornschemeier, he of the prodigious illustrative talents and author of numerous fantastic Fantagraphics books, will illustrate and design every edition of Paper Egg. As much as this little effort is something of a throwback, [...]
