“July 13 holds special importance for writer and publisher Leland Cheuk. Not only is it the day that, in 2014, he found out his life had been saved by a successful bone marrow transplant from a stranger, but it’s also the day that his first novel, The Misadventures of Sulliver Pong, was picked up by the Chicago Center for Literature and Photography. Two years later, on the same day, Thought Catalog sent him an offer for his first story collection, Letters From Dinosaurs. So when Cheuk decided to start his own small press in 2016, he didn’t hesitate to name it 7.13 Books (713books.com).”
7.13 Books is up @poetswritersinc in Small Press Points
“Publishing four to five fiction titles a year from debut writers, the press seeks to offer ‘a publishing experience that’s respectful to and even reverent of first-time authors.’ Cheuk wants the press, which is located in New York City, to avoid the pitfalls of both traditional publishing houses.”
