Dry The Rain is a novel for people who love writing that is very focused on language. Listen to author Richard Leise explain how he was using words like music on @tylercdempsey's excellent podcast. open.spotify.com/episode/1VrZgI…

Tomorrow, @PicketFire will be running one day sale on Richard Leise’s novel ‘Dry The Rain.’ Digital copies will be 99 cents wherever you get your ebooks. If you like literary novels that are psychological mind benders, check it out.

We publish books. Literary novels. You should read them if you're into that kind of thing. Sorry my tweets aren't more rage inducing.

We will not be at AWP, but we will be at the yearly book event that actually matters, the Columbus Book Festival in Ohio this July.

Submissions are closed. We have signed a deal with author @wadeparrish5 to publish his novel, "Debt." Look for it this August.

@cterlson Do they toss copies of your book from the roof of a tall building? Then maybe.

Do you think that any of the book marketers will actually help you? Honest question.

It's a new year, and to help you meet your reading goals, we have books in our shop.

All we want for Christmas is for people to rate and review our novels on Goodreads.

We have received some EXCELLENT submissions so far. It's going to be really hard to say no to some of you.

John Duffy's WHERE WHEN IT RAINS came out 1 year ago. Readers have said wonderful things about it, including that it is the "literature of now." If you haven't read it yet, grab a copy in our shop or wherever books are sold.

Check out Richard Leise on Tyler Dempsey's podcast. Tyler is a great interviewer. It's clear he is a careful reader.

@AnthonyKaneEva1 Check your email.

@PicketFire I've made the payment, but I don't seem to be able to find a place where I should attach my doc. Could you just give me an email address for that? (I got a verify email from you and I believe the payment has gone through).

We are OPEN for full length novel submissions. Instructions on our website, Picketfire dot com.

@ericaavey Kingsnorth and Westra? Nice stack!
