Hey! I got mentioned in Publishers' Weekly!

Can I get a Woot-Woot!?

This weeks' issue of Publishers' Weekly (the publishing periodical) gave me a mention in the "Deals" section-

The Wire

Lisa Clancy at Running Press bought world rights to Terry Border's Bent Objects: The Secret Life of Everyday Things via Sorche Fairbank. Based on Border's popular blog, the work is a collection of his still lifes using everyday objects, including scenarios such as a bottle of Dramamine falling ill, a pear looking in a mirror and despairing of its bottom-heavy physique, and Caribbean seasoning living up to its “jerk” name. Pub date is fall 2009.




So, yes, that's the date - fall of 2009. I know it's a long ways off, but that'll give us time to really do this thing right. That's also why you should let me know that you want to be on the list of peeps who want to be notified when the book is available. I know how it is in the blog world- the blog that you check out constantly for months gets forgotten when you get busy and go on to other things. So email me to say "Put me on the list!"

My contact link is on the right of this page in bold blue! Ya can't miss it!

(And yes, it's gonna take several more days for the celery saga to unfold!)

Thanks for all the woots, and kind words from near and far.

Fall of '09 seems far away now, but I'm working hard on the book as we speak. I'm going to have plenty of new images for everyone to see!

Natsthename said...

Congratulations and well deserved. You are quite creative!

Melissa said...

Hey, The Secret Life of Everyday Things! Isn't that a variation of one of the names I suggested?

I'd confirm it for myself, except that that post doesn't seem to exist anymore. What up with that??

Tim said...

Congratulations. I understand the book-publishing process can take quite some time, so I'm glad you're taking the time to do it right.

Can't wait for the book, and of course the countless new photos you'll have here in the meantime.

Terry said...

Melissa- I was thinking about that myself the other day. I have that post somewhere, I'll find it.

Thanks again, everyone!

So very exciting - congrats!

(woot x 2!)

Jane who? said...

It might seem like a long time, but it really does take time to get everything lined up just so before it goes to the printer. And your publisher probably wants lots of lead time between going to press and hitting the shelves (to get the best price on printing), so the profit margins will be greater. It's all in your best interest, really, that your publication date does seem to be so very far away.

Woot woot from Iowa. I thought the name of the book sounded familiar too. Somebody suggested it or something very similar. Maybe you could add a dedication in the book for who ever suggested it?

I'll be giving some of these for x-mas presents myself... did I say to myself? I meant for other people!! lol

On with the blather
