http://pilcrowlitfest.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Controversy, Then Not, Then More Controversy, Then Not at Inaugural Dubai Lit Fest. The first-ever Dubai lit fest, which finishes up today, opened to controversy when a The Gulf Between Us, which features a gay sheik, by brit Geraldine Bedell was rejected from the festival line-up. The Emirates Airlines International Festival of Literature. Participating in the festival via video conference, at, of course, a last-minute discussion panel about censorship. Posted by Amy Guth.

Pilcrow Lit Fest: Rebuilt Books
http://pilcrowlitfest.blogspot.com/2009/04/rebuilt-books.html
Is on again this year, and in a big way. Rebuilt Books is, as many of you remember, a fundraiser which asks writers to disassemble their own books (or partner with an artist and have him/her do it) then rebuild the book into a piece of art. This year, Pilcrow Lit Fest/Chicago will be raising money for Young Chicago Authors. See inspiration of last year's Rebuilt Books here with Timothy Schaffert's doll parts book. Laura Van Prooyen's word-lanterns. Oh yes, that Literary Death Match. Posted by Amy Guth.

Five with Jennifer Banash. Next up in the Pilcrow Lit Fest "Five with." interview series is our new friend who lives, works, and writes in Iowa City, Iowa. She is the co-founder and co-publisher of Impetus Press. 1 What are you working on now? 2 What is your favorite part of literary festivals and why? Socializing with people I haven't seen in a while, and drinking copious amounts of wine with them afterwards. 3 Who are your favorite small press mover/shaker types at the minute? And Bret Easton Ellis.

Pilcrow Lit Fest: Shout-Out from Outsider Writers
http://pilcrowlitfest.blogspot.com/2009/04/shout-out-from-outsider-writers.html
Shout-Out from Outsider Writers. Pilcrow got some love from Outsider Writers Collective's. Tim Hall this morning:. The 2nd annual Pilcrow Lit Fest. Will be held the week of May 17-23 in Chicago, culminating with a full day of panels on the 23rd and a fantastic “rebuilt books” auction to cap off the event. Those of us who were there for the inaugural event last year can attest to how amazing it was, and what a brilliant job organizer Amy Guth did putting together events and panels. Posted by Amy Guth.

Pilcrow Lit Fest: Shout Out from HuffPo and Dropping Bombs
http://pilcrowlitfest.blogspot.com/2009/05/shout-out-from-huffpo-and-dropping.html
Shout Out from HuffPo and Dropping Bombs. In a post about the state of publishing and literature in Chicago, Pilcrow Lit Fest got a nice shout out from Gina Frangello in the Huffington Post. For many years Chicago's book publishing community was almost nonexistent, but now new independent book presses like Featherproof Books. Are popping up like wildfire to fill the gap left by New York; now Chicago is host to almost back-to-back AWP Conferences and Pilcrow Literary Festival. I was chatting with Terry.
