“The best editorial assistance I have ever received took place while Clarinda Harriss was making Gretchen, my chapbook / short story in verse, not only a good product of BhB but a super one. At one point she even sent me detailed (and often fascinating) comments on a full-length paper copy of the text.” “I’m thrilled by your comments about my comments. I loved reading your ms., which is why I scribbled all over it. And I loved that you took a few of the suggestions while showing me the error of some of my ways vis a vis some of the others.” – Edward McCrorie, author of GRETCHEN, GONE GAMES, and NEEDLE MAN
“After working with Clarinda Harriss of BrickHouse Books on two books, SIRENS’ SONGS of 2011 and IMPOSSIBLE INTERLUDES of 2012, I am extremely grateful to have such a kind, understanding and well-informed editor.

Wilhelm, executive director of CityLit Project and publisher of CityLit Press
