New Video: How to submit to Iowa Bird of Mouth

The launch party at the Ames Public Library was amazing! Thank you, Mary and Lynne, for your incredible hospitality! You make us feel legit! Thanks to the phenomenal readers and speakers, Heather Derr-Smith, Tyler Harms of Iowa Young Birders, Meg Johnson, Claire Krüesel
and Molly McDonald. And thanks to everyone who turned out and kept the poem in the air!

The feedback I received was that people liked learning how to use the site, so I made this video. Let me know what you think!

The IBOM theme song!

Can't think of a better way to start the IBOM launch partay day than with our new theme song, by Ames' own Quërvo featuring Strong Like Bear!  Hope to see you at the launch party at the Ames Public Library tonight for readings with Heather Derr-Smith, Meg Johnson, Claire Krüesel, and Molly McDonald! With special guest star, Tyler Harms of Iowa Young Birders!

The Launch Party is Almost Here!
