We will be discussing the latest releases from Itoh Press

I want to announce we now have a new name and address. We are now Carol Itoh: Publisher
 and our new address is http://www.itohpress.blogspot.com

I want to turn my focus away from my writing and more toward the publishing end of the process. Being a small press owner gives me an entirely new prospective on the book industry. Here I will be prospective writers tip on how to query, submit a manuscript, and what most publisher's will and will not accept. This show help you greatly before you start the arduous process of emailing tons of publishers only to left wondering why the negative replies, or no reply at all.

ITOH PRESS

ITOH PRESS is a new small publishing company. I decided it was time to start my own company when I knew I was more successful at promoting my work than the publishing house I was with. They did little to help and I felt like a ship lost at sea all alone with no rescue in sight.

I offer everything every small press offers but I will assist the new author in more ways in helping them to make their book a success. If you want a change in the type of publisher you are working with then give us a change to help you.

Send your manuscripts to submissions@itohpress.com and see what we can do for you!

Review Porcelain Passings Now!

"Fucking" is the name of a town in Austria.

 

Much to the dismay of the town's 104 residents, this unfortunate name has led to numerous acts of vandalism from tourists. Visitors from the English-speaking world have been stealing road signs.

Though the town has had its name for centuries, it wasn't until British and American troops arrived to the area in WWII that the town began to receive notoriety. Back it the 1940s locals were amused by foreigners taking pictures by signs with the town's name. Now they're getting pretty sick of it.

According to one Austrian tourist: "The Germans all want to see Mozart's house in Salzburg. The Americans want to see where The Sound Of Music was filmed. The Japanese want Hitler's birthplace in Braunau. But for the British, it's all about Fucking."

Among some of the more amusing signs in the town is the one with the message "Please -- not so fast" under the town's name.

My Notes: I only decided to add this because of the unusualness of it. I love trivia and this was something you just don't see every day. It also serves to reminds us that different words mean different things in different parts of the world so we can't judge what one person means when they use a particular word. 
A man from this town can proudly say "I'm from Fucking, Austria." And he would be telling the truth without cursing. I can say" I'm from fucking America." I'm telling the truth but I'm cursing. So guess whose more likely to go to Hell...him or me??

Flash Fiction

I'm thinking of trying my hand at Flash Fiction. Can I really keep my storytelling under one thousand words? That will be quite a challenge to a writer who is used to having no limits. What do you think of Flash Fiction? Do you like to read stories that short? Let me know.
