The first BDP anthology is now out.

Online version: PDF/$0.00.
Print version: Perfect-bound/$5.14.

Available for order/download at Lulu, here.

Excellent!

The BDP anthology will be out during the next week.

Alongside, we will shortly be publishing an book/anthology of poems, called My Words.

Watch out for both!

Submissions for BDP anthology #2 should only be submitted after the #1 anthology is released.

We are very sorry to say that we will have to undergo a change. Reviewing our situation, we have contemplated and considered our possible publishing solutions.

Rather than employing a printing press to bulk publish our book, we are sorry but we have to turn to this solution. Here are the changes.

BDP works almost like a “self publishing author”. Basically, we collect fiction/poetry. Then, in our anthology, we get it published by Lulu. However, the bigger difference is, we have a large market for our books, and we can advertise. Of course, we could do the same for you, under our name – meaning that we’ll advertise for you wherever we can, together with our anthologies which come out every several months. We’ll see whether we can do a book trailer.

We are a non-profit company. We do not earn. This means some of the privileges that come with traditional publishing will not be there, such as Royalties and IBSN.
