Slush Editions
SLUSH EDITIONS is an imprint of Ellen Lupton, a writer, designer,
and curator working in Baltimore and New York. Sexy Librarian
is Slush Edition’s inaugural publication. Lupton’s
recent
projects include Indie Publishing
a book that chronicles the trials and tribulations, do’s and don’ts,
of a variety of independent publishing ventures, including this one.
Lupton discovered Sexy Librarian when she attended an exhibition
by Julia Weist at Cooper Union. The exhibition featured a wall of
rejection letters for a proposed romance about a librarian
who leaves her sophisticated New York life to work in the heartland.
The rejection letters inspired Lupton to publish the book.
Sexy Librarian is designed by Kristian Bjornard.
