Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Alan Zaremba is en route to Las Vegas today, in preparation for March Madness. We here at the University of Nebraska Press are filling out our brackets. Also, be sure to check Alan’s blog (and ours) on Friday – the least productive work day of the year – for lots of March Madness coverage.

Moving on, one of our authors has won a Pushcart Prize. Mimi Schwartz won for her essay “Telling the Truth that Matters,” which was published in Arts & Letters in the fall of 2008. Congrats to Mimi, who has had a good week — as regular blog readers might remember, her book Good Neighbors, Bad Times, which was published last year by the University of Nebraska Press, is up for a ForeWord Book Award in the autobiography/memoir category.

That’s it for this morning!
