Critically-Acclaimed Short Fiction Featured in LibraryBub Selection for May
Wednesday, May 10, 2023
LOS ANGELES, May 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- According to Tom Conaghan, founder of a publishing house devoted to short fiction, today's "weird fragmented times" of pandemic, war and displacement are ripe for short stories. "There's an appetite for it. Life is coming undone and the short story has that potential to reflect it more than anything." In Scar Songs, a collection of nine short stories by W. Royce Adams, the male characters "struggle with identities, loyalties, relationships and precarious situations" with a Kirkus reviewer welcoming how the author explores fraternity, family and the challenge of navigating life's pains and pleasures.
LibraryBub, an industry first, was established in 2015. Dedicated to making strong, mutual connections between indie and small-press authors and an extensive network of libraries, it works in conjunction with all major libraries. The core commitment of the LibraryBub service is to help librarians to identify acclaimed books from the independent publishing sector. LibraryBub introduces thousands of librarians to bestselling and award-winning books from the independent publishing sector. These books hold immense potential for enhancing the lives of their readers. Author Dan Gutman feels he wouldn't be a writer today if it weren't for libraries. "I remember going to the library after school to do my homework there. When I started my career, the Internet didn't exist yet and I did all my research at the library." He adds, "I still go to the library with my laptop, especially in the winter months, and I do a lot of my writing there. It's just nice to be surrounded by books." Librarians enable writers to make that kind of difference to people's lives, and LibraryBub CEO Alinka Rutkowska considers it a privilege to support them in that role.
