Desert Pets at MEET THE PRESSES 2016!
We had an amazing time at Meet the Presses this year. The event always brings out so many incredible people doing such wonderful work. It's hard to believe that last year was DP's first Meet the Presses ever, and we only had 2 books!! What a fantastic year! Thank you to everyone who stopped by! #Fall2016 #Publishing #Community #Toronto #Shop #JessieJones #VincentPage #StevieHowell #Bookstore #MeetthePresses #SmallPress #BookFair #Chapbooks #MichelleBrown #BrookeLockyer
Oh, What a Night!
Desert Pets celebrated our second season with the launch of Brooke Lockyer's Moon Bones/Silver Tooth and Michelle Brown's Foreign Experts Building. The night was a tremendous success! Thank you to The Emergency Response Unit and Phoebe Wang for sharing the evening with us, Reunion Island Coffee Bar for hosting us, and everyone for coming out! #Launch #SmallPress #Publishing #Poets #Spring2016 #MichelleBrown #TheEmergencyResponseUnit #Reading #Toronto #Chapbooks #BrookeLockyer
