From the Back of the Book: Prepare to be ferried to an unfamiliar realm on the bony back of despair. Author Dustin LaValley takes us down face first with rapid-fire flash fiction in the form of Odds and Ends: An Assortment of Sorts. Already associated with the dark and bizarre, LaValley expands his repertoire to […]
Preston Black may believe he's under the curse of 27 but to me he's been a bit of a good luck charm. This week we've finally released THE DEVIL AND PRESTON BLACK in its first widely available print edition so I've been thinking a lot about Preston. Meeting him was a casual affair (I realize […]

How it works Now through the end of January post a short story, poem, piece of art, excerpt from a longer work instigated by Arnzen or even a blog reflection on his influence. Then post a link here, on the RDSP FB page or send it directly to books@rawdogscreaming.com. I will share it through our […]

These are in no particular order except that #1 was definitely the top: 1. DogCon was legendary and we have the pics to prove it! It was way more fun and went way better than we expected. 2. Plans were laid for a new Science Fiction Adventure imprint, Dog Star Books, with author and editor […]

Honestly, you don't get many days like this in publishing. Days when someone sends you a link to a new review which you follow somewhat hesitantly, hoping that you'll be able to excerpt a decent quote, hoping you'll be able to send happy news to the author, instead of the 'sorry they didn't really get […]
Today is the official launch day for HELLBENDER and I am excited! It's been a long journey to get here. Longer than usual because we had a lot of fun stops on the way. The whole concept of having a book launch on one day is weird to me. Authors are always asking what the […]

Raw Dog Screaming Press is quickly approaching its 10th year of publishing so I've been thinking a lot about how much things have changed during the business in those 10 years. For such a long time the same Agent-Publisher model was in place where, in order to be published, authors needed to get an agent […]
I've met them before, Seton Hill alum or students. They seem normal (well as normal as authors can be anyway) until you mention the Seton Hill Popular Writing program and they all break out into the same goofy grin. I've been hearing about Seton Hill since we first published Mike Arnzen in 2004. He's on […]
Looks like Amazon has decided to do something about people who snag free content from the internet, format it as an ebook and sell it for Kindle. I blogged about this awhile back (http://raw-dog.livejournal.com/245555.html). I figured this kind of thing was behind the email we recently got explaining what type of content is acceptable for […]
This Friday, 7-9 pm, Morgantown Poets is hosting an RDSP book party with authors Michael Arnzen and Jason Jack Miller. The event is being held at the Monongalia Arts Center in Morgantown, WV. We've heard a lot of people are coming from out of state so we will be giving away a goody bag full of RDSP […]
Back cover text is one of the most important elements for selling a book. However writing it is not easy, even for the author, or maybe, especially for the author. If they could have said everything they needed to in a couple of paragraphs then why write a book? Since good back cover text is […]
Lately I've been thinking that publishing has become increasingly difficult. RDSP's 10-year anniversary is right around the corner and this is definitely not how I imagined things would be at this milestone. At first I thought I was just tired, burnt-out, in a rut and tried to shake it off. I figured it was not […]
