At Foghorn Press, Vicki Morgan was an ambitious woman publisher, young and brash, coming-of-age while quixotically building a book publishing company from scratch with her eccentric brother to help. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs part of their optimistic Morgan heritage, the siblings strive to grow Foghorn Press with no capital, 100-hour work weeks, cheap beer, irrepressible belly laughs, and no book publishing experience. They assemble a cast of preposterous authors and resistant staff while surviving a drunken ex-husband, a con artist, calculating distributors, a fleet of good ol' boys, terrible cash flow, and their own differing aspirations. Books are brought to market and miraculously sell from their offices in the Boiler Room. Foghorn is soon a resounding success with sales, media, acclaim. But in the end, there are costs, to relationships, to family, and maybe even to the truth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vicki DeArmon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1960573926\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781960573926\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sibylline Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 295\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Vicki DeArmon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46293112160511,"sku":"9781960573926","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f7edc3ca-00e9-43b6-9f7a-23682c12a48a.jpg?v=1730212161","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/foghorn-vicki-dearmon-9781960573926","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
