The Chair is Waiting
About the velvet chair
Keep Your Edges
The Velvet Chair is a literary house for women with something unmistakably their own to say. We go looking for voices that have been overlooked, interrupted, underestimated, or still gathering the nerve to come forward.
We want the strange detail, the difficult feeling, the unruly idea, and the sentence that sounds like nobody else. Our editorial work protects what makes each voice singular and helps the book become more fully itself.
Then we carry it toward the readers who have been waiting to hear it.
Too Bright by Anne Laurette
From the Catalog
Too Bright follows Lo, a woman beginning to understand how much of herself she has surrendered to remain acceptable to everyone around her.
Set in a coastal town in New England, the novel moves through friendship, desire, grief, self-trust, and the unsettling freedom of taking up more room in your own life.
Too Bright is the first book in Anne Laurette's Still as a Woman series.
