Undawnted Press Release... Eclipse: Cloaked by Totality is Available for Purchase

 Undawnted's proprietor, DL Mullan, has officially released her fourth chapbook!

Eclipse: Cloaked by Totality is an amalgamation of poetry styles under the topic of an eclipse. With poems in the genres of science, mythology, and literature, there is something special for everyone who reads it. DL Mullan's gift is to make the intangible, tangible. A Ph.D. is not a requirement to read any of her poetry or prose writing. Readers can just enjoy.

From the chapbook's dedication page:

This total eclipse dives deep into the heart of the matter. Eclipse is a themed chapbook with mythological, meteorological, astrophysical, and literary aspects weaved throughout the poetry to create a one-of-a-kind reading experience.  

Some reader acclaim about various poems are:

"Excellent."
"More like cloaked by powerful words!"
"Love this."

Find your totality with Eclipse.

Seasonal Outlook for New Opportunities

I wanted something more for Undawnted as to the change of seasons. 

Therefore, I created four different book covers: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. I wanted to jot down how the seasons reflected my inner dialogue. These books will be an amalgamation of art, prose, and poetry. 

If others would like to join this e-book, then I can make an anthology series. I would publish the books under the Sonoran Dawn Studios (my publishing house) banner. If no one joins this unique series, then I will write it off as C'est la vie, such as life. 

Here are the book covers so far. 

If you would like to participate, please drop me a line using the Contact Form.





Have a great and seasonal day!

The Art of Chapbook Publication

I am asked often how to make a chapbook. 

Here are some simple steps to make a product with a good production value:

• Use a word processing software program that is compatible with the creation of pdf's. 
• Structure your chapbook with front matter, content, and back matter.
• Front Matter should have informative elements for your reader like:
• Title page
• Copyright/Publishing page
• Table of Contents
• Contents should be in logical/chronological order with numbering
• Back Matter should have extras for your reader like:
• Author biography
• Thank you
• Dedication (maybe Front Matter for Print books)
• Publisher's mark
• Book design cover art to visually explain your poetry with images instead of words with:
• Title 
• Tag line, if applicable 
• Author's (pen) name

The time and dedication to put all these elements together is necessary to give your audience a complete sense of what message, feeling, or thought you wanted to convey to them. 

Many publishers will charge around $1,000 for their time, original art work, and editing services. 

So if you would like me to do a chapbook for you in pdf format with my original design cover art, editing, layout, and internal design services, please note that I charge a fee. 

Anthologies I usually do for free or a reading fee of $1 per poem/microfiction prose piece. Then I will give the anthology out for free for one day and then begin to charge for my time per chapbook sold.

Considering many people do not buy anthologies, I am usually out my time. 

Thems the breaks. 

So if you would like to hire me to do your chapbook under 50 pages including original artwork, front/back matter and contents. Then set a goal of a $250 to $300 budget. That is with the originator handing in a typo free document. 

Since my original cover art starts out at the $200 price point, poets and writer's are really getting a great deal. If you would like to hire me to accomplish a New Year's goal of a publication credit for 2020, then please go over to my Sonoran Dawn Studios social media page and write me a private message. 

I take Paypal. 

Thank you!

*****

Please be advised that there is a $50 nonrefundable payment due before any work can begin as to safeguard my time creating a cover design mock up for you. Then you can decide after the mock up if you would like to continue, if you do, then $200 of the overall completed chapbook fee will also be nonrefundable. 

It is unfortunate but I have ran into people who want to see the product before payment only to take the work for themselves and leave me without compensation. It does not happen often but now I put in barriers to those individuals who have dishonorable intentions. 

Thank you for your understanding. 

New Look for Psychotic Elephants

The last cover for Memoirs of a Psychotic Painting Elephant did not give the impression of anything psychedelic or elephanty. 

To celebrate the beginning of this year's Winter Frost Seasonal Reads Program, Undawnted updated the long form poem's image. 

I kept the theme going with different colored page headings... in neon inspired tones. 

If you are going to be creative and have fun, you might as well go for it!

I hope you have fun with this poem as much as I did writing it.

Working on Dark Poetry Chapbook

Halloween is less than five months away.

Good thing, I began putting together a dark poetry chapbook then... This ebook will publish some fan favorites as well as new poetry that our readers have not seen yet.

This chapbook is called The Descent. Here's our workup on the Chapbooks page in the Poetry section of Undawnted:

This chapbook houses "a darker breed of poetry." Just in time for Halloween! Fan favorites like The Collection, Death Replies to Emily Dickinson, and Breathe will make their presence known. Plus new poetry that has yet to be seen by the general public.

So get out your Ouija boards; it's time to divinate great poetry!

We cannot wait for the September 16th debut!
