Hearty congratulations to J. Scott Brownlee, whose manuscript On the Occasion of the Last Old Camp Meeting in Llano County we’ll be publishing later this year!
The pool of entrants was stacked, and we’re thrilled to be publishing not only the winning manuscript, but also each of our finalists’ manuscripts.
A huge thanks for everyone who participated and supported the press, and congrats to these five fine writers who we’re so thrilled to be publishing in the future!
Pumped to announce these developments in our publishing queue at Tree Light Books! J. Scott Brownlee’s winning manuscript is heart-wrenching and beautiful and just so happens to contain “Wildflower Choir,” the first poem by Brownlee I ever read. The manuscripts of the finalists are tender and electric and solemn and philosophical and language-driven and lovely. Cannot wait to publish these books, y’all.
