If you’d like to join, send sample work to pilot[at]pilotbooksseattle[dot]com.
In the meantime, here’s the list:

The Particular Sadness of Lemon Elevators
I hope you did not miss Aimee Bender’s signing tonight at Elliott Bay. (I did. But it was all for you.)
Only because I happened to re-read The Third Elevator recently, and happened to email the publisher, Sumanth Prabhaker (Madras Press), right before Aimee came to Seattle to promote The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake, did we manage to get her in-store to sign copies of the only Aimee Bender book we actually carry, The Third Elevator. Thanks, Aimee! And thank you, Karen Maeda Allman, for lending us copies of The Particular Sadness… so we seemed semi-legit.
Give Yourself a Bad Haircut
Cartoonists Esther Pearl Watson and Mark Todd stopped by the store today. Now we’re vending a limited edition, black light reactive copy of Unlovable Vol. 1 and a fistful of Funchicken comics. See some of the treats:
