Virtual Book Launch
5/30/2020 - 4PM
Red Sweater Press

In these uncertain times (the new tagline of this generation), indie authors have had to get even more creative with our methods of getting work into the hands of readers.
But while some authors, even those traditionally published, are having to bear the disappointment of cancellations and delayed book launches, I decided to host my first virtual book launch on YouTube at the end of this month. Please join me on Saturday, May 30th, from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. to celebrate the release of my seventh book, “Interstitials”, on the Red Sweater Press channel.
I’ve carried a lot of titles over the last decade: English major, novelist, lit mag editor, journalist, photographer, grad student, web editor, missionary, coach, teacher (of all grades, in person and online); but I’ve always been a writer, and now I’m embracing it fully as an author-editor-publisher through Red Sweater Press. While I’ve focused more on writing and publishing my own work in this last year, I look forward to editing and publishing the works of others, as well, in the near future.
If you’d like to learn more about me and my work, please visit www.caitbuxbaum.com. If you’re more interested in the editing and publishing side of things, feel free to contact me at www.redsweaterpress.com, where you can also subscribe to my monthly newsletter. And, come to my book launch! I’ll be reading poems, answering questions and offering a ton of giveaways and discounts during this 1-hour, live event, so you’ll get the most bang for your buck if you stay for the whole thing (it’s free, of course, but you could get a free book, too!).
When Alaskans are once again encouraged to get outside and patronize bookstores, I plan to schedule in-person signings, too. But in the meantime, I hope you'll join me in trying something new. Whether the virtual book launch becomes the new normal out of necessity, or simply because it's more inclusive (on a global scale), I hope you'll agree the online experience is just as worthwhile.
