It was just one summer! If there are anymore questions just write and ask. And congratulations to all the book give away winners. That's really a neat thing for Donna to do. She does a lot for writers, probably more than anyone in the St. Louis area. And I have no idea how she keeps up with everything and still manages to do such a neat blog. Yeah Donna!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10913824362085625374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198335440945057072.post-7198285492762237052011-04-21T06:29:10.960-05:002011-04-21T06:29:10.960-05:00Great interview!

It was really becoming part of a team making editing and design decisions, with the main goal of putting out the best product possible. Lou is something of a Renaissance woman--artist, poet, writer, and alligator wrangler--whose talents serve High Hill Press and its authors well.Lonnie Whitakerhttp://geestoapoormarket.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198335440945057072.post-91947479346738832132011-04-20T15:47:03.869-05:002011-04-20T15:47:03.869-05:00I loved the interview.

I love what we're doing as a small press, and hope that comes through in my answers. There's so much more out there, though, that I've yet to learn about the business. But everyday it seems I learn a little more. And I think my wanting to make the books pretty comes from my long years as a devoted bibliophile. I always collected books that were pretty. Some of the old ones were so decorative on the inside, I'm trying to copy that a little. Thanks for all the comments and if anyone has any other questions, just ask away.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10913824362085625374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198335440945057072.post-57827158448235059622011-04-19T09:06:51.049-05:002011-04-19T09:06:51.049-05:00Hi Sioux,

That's especially nice she knows to pay attention to interior design as I've seen enough small presses that don't, and so their books aren't dressed to play with the "big boys."Linda Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12440198392313322295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198335440945057072.post-51761128964005194042011-04-18T16:37:34.041-05:002011-04-18T16:37:34.041-05:00Donna--
