Joe Paprocki Miscellaneous

(Check out the story in the Chicago Tribune)

Seriously, this is such exciting news! Loyola Press has beat out the nation’s top publishing houses for the rights to produce the North American English translation of the first collection of Pope Francis’ words since he became pope. Congrats to Joe Durepos, our Acquisitions Editor, for discovering this “new talent” and to Terry Locke, President of Loyola Press, for this “big catch!”

Maybe I’ll contact him and see if he wants to do some workshops together!

In the meantime, whet your appetite with this great book:
