The auction for the six titles from Dzanc Books is closing in about an hour. For those of you not hip, I thought I would tell you a little bit about this innovative publishing company.

Dzanc is a non-profit organization dedicated to publishing literary fiction. They also do outreach and education. This means writers in schools programs, but also working with literary journals to increase literacy and also visibility of serious authors.

This is a quick summary because the auction ends in abut 45 minutes and I want to get this up in time for you to BID.... Also, it was so kind of them to offer thier whole catalog. There are some good books in there.

And, ahem, just FYI, if you are an author-- check out this tasty paragraph lifted from the Dzanc website:

All Dzanc authors not only receive contracts and monetary compensation commensurate with the best literary houses, but the personal attention shown to each author by Dzanc - including reviews, book tours and intimate involvement in every step of the publishing process - clearly makes Dzanc unique.

Now that should get you feeling bid-dy
