Big Shoulders Books in Chicago Tribune
Thanks to all who helped celebrate Big Shoulders Books’ latest, Write Your Heart Out! Check out the Chicago Tribune‘s coverage of the book:
Writing from Veterans Needed
Hello, friends of the English Department! As you may or may not know, the Department of English here at DePaul has recently launched a new press called Big Shoulders Books.
Next weekend, Big Shoulders will release the 826CHI Compendium, Vol. IV, which is extremely exciting! What’s even more exciting is that more great things are already in the works at Big Shoulders–specifically, the next anthology.
We need your help! Big Shoulders Books is currently seeking the writing of Chicago-area veterans of war for a 2015 anthology entitled I Remember: Chicago Veterans of War. Please see the flyer below and pass it on to any veterans you know.
