Year of Ann Dvorak: Day 65

I don’t have a whole lot of news to report on the Ann Dvorak book, but there are a couple of items. First, the book is definitely on the roster for Fall 2013, so we will be seeing it this year! The Fall catalog should be coming out sometime in the Spring, so we should have a book cover soon. I sent in a few portraits for Kentucky Press’ designers to choose from, so I am excited to see how it turns out.

Secondly, the title is indeed going to be Ann Dvorak: Hollywood’s Forgotten Rebel. For some reason, I wasn’t sure they were going to keep it, but they thought it a good enough hook, plus it sums up Ann perfectly, and I agree! Since Hollywood’s Forgotten Rebel  has been the title of this website since 2007, I guess it makes sense to go with it and now that I know it’s the book’s title, I like it even more.

That’s it for now. Hopefully, I will have a firm release date soon. I will also be calling on all of you loyal Dvorak devotees for marketing suggestions. Ann-D may be better know now than she was when I first discovered her in 1995, but it’s still going to take a lot of work to convince people they want to read an entire book about her!
