# Douglas & McIntyre Launches “Imagine That” Campaign

Chris Labonte, Douglas & McIntyre’s Assistant Publisher & Acquiring Editor, imagines a fiction program that features extraordinary writers. “Extraordinary writers willing to push the bounds of literature; to mess around with form and content and style; to bend genre and explore new ways of telling good stories.”

The result is the Fall 2009 “Imagine That” campaign and the (itpc://www.dmpibooks.com/rss/speak-easy), hosted by John Burns.

Featured in my press kit are the following books.

**Daniel O’Thunder: a Novel by Ian Weir**

*

**Heading South: a Novel by Dany Laferriere, translated by Wayne Grady**

**Red: A Haida Manga by Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas**

Also in my kit was a reminder that Douglas & McIntyre has been publishing Quebecois and French-Canadian literature in translation for nearly two decades. Included on the list are several works by Monique Proulx (I want to read Invisible Man at the Window*) and works by Daniel Poliquin.

I’m looking forward to more podcasts and great fiction. Thanks for keeping me in the loop D&M.
