The 826LA printing presses have lurched back into action! 826LA East's Echo Press released the year's first chapbook, I Will Eat You and Gobble You Up, and 826LA West's Dogtown Books quickly followed suit with Elfin Loaves Like to Eat Humans. (Both are available at the Echo Park Time Travel Mart.) Our after-school tutoring students worked hard on these potentially frightening and promisingly imaginative collections, and they're busy working on their next chapbooks, to be published in early December.

In other news, 826LA East has been working with high school students (from the Downtown Magnets and Fairfax High) creating their own 'zine, focusing on fashion, photography, design, and art, and our in-house newspapers, The Venice Wave and 826LA Good Times, are at work on the final issues of 2009. If you're interested in helping our students with their publishing projects, let us know at iwanttohelp@826la.org.
