Embrace of the Serpent

I don't think I've been as excited to see a movie in recent memory as I am to see Embrace of the Serpent. Last week, NPR featured an interview with director Ciro Guerra. The host opens the segment by saying, "To understand the Amazon, director Ciro Guerra says you have to lose your mind."

Check out our new book formulas!

Based in part in the popularity of our Two Dollar Radio Flowchart, we've been working diligently to come up with creative and visual ways to help readers find our books. We are excited to share with you simple formulas that incorporate things like brands of soda, writers, movie titles, punk icons, or glitter, with the idea that these formulas might serve in a succinct manner as points of reference for a given book title.

Meet Molly Delaney!

We'd like to take a moment to introduce Molly Delaney, our first employee at Two Dollar Radio!

Molly has been working with us for the past year+ in production and marketing, and since her background and interests aren't as embedded in the traditional publishing mindset, she's been a huge help and terrific source for creative ideas apart from what we've historically done to try to get people to read our books. It was Molly's idea to create the Two Dollar Radio Street Team, and she has been instrumental with developing a top-secret major project that we plan to release news about very, very soon.
