March 23, 2025

Foreshore is set to publish the debut novel by award winning poet Marie Anne Arreola after an exclusive submission. 

Phil M. Shirley, publisher-in-chief at Foreshore, acquired world rights to Sparks of the Liberating Spirit who Trapped Us back in Woodstock by Marie Anne, the debut novel from the highly acclaimed Mexican poet, following an exclusive submission from the author.

The new book is a magical realism novel debut novel that draws on the supernatural and is inspired by WILDSOUND’s Festival selection of Marie Anne’s winning poem Woodstock, a visually evocative tale that captures the haunting beauty of memory, and the delicate machinery of human connection—where sometimes, the only way to fix what’s broken is to embrace the imperfection of the present.

Jonathan, a 38-year-old man adrift in the unresolved corners of his life, returns to Woodstock for his grandfather’s funeral, where he receives a set of instructions from his ghost—

WHAT AUTHORS SAY ABOUT PUBLISHING WITH US

“Having read extensively online that your first book is rarely published, I sent Blame off to the usual list of publishers one can find easily online with limited expectation. I still have my first email from Foreshore. Their enthusiasm for the book jumped out of the screen. As a new author, I had a ton of questions to ask before agreeing to publish my book. All my questions were welcomed and answered. As a relatively new company, I knew that they would be willing to do the work to bring the book to market, and in return expand their own place in the market. It felt like the perfect fit. A formatting error on the first run of Blame was quickly discovered and dealt with. I had full confidence in Foreshore that this would be resolved. I value the knowledge and experience they have. In many ways it is priceless. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing your book listed on bookshops websites. That would never have happened had I gone down the self-publishing route. I hope that Blame is just the start of our journey together.”
Edward Burley, author of Blame.
