Newspaper Blackout has been out a month, but Derik Badman is the first to spot not one, but two typos in the book. The first is on page 50 (the word “for” shows up twice), the second is on page 84 (the word “to” shows up twice).
Luckily, they’re easy to fix…
A bonus poem for Mother’s Day: this one is from page 59 of Newspaper Blackout.

It’s been three whole weeks since Newspaper Blackout came out. If y’all liked the book, I’d sure appreciate a review on Amazon.

And a great tale from Heather Brush, the books page editor at the Roanoke Times (she reviewed NB):
There’s a funny story behind my review…the book was sitting on my desk here in the newsroom, waiting for me to finish it and review it, when it disappeared. Someone swiped it! I put up “wanted” posters and mysteriously it was returned in the dark of night. Apparently, news people are very interested in this book!
A book worth stealing — that’s what I like to hear! Thanks, Heather.
Two other great reviews from The Christian Science Monitor and The Austin American-Statesman.
Also: over 500 people now follow the Newspaper Blackout Tumblr where folks post their own blackout poems. Check it out.
