Publishing, Marketing & Distributing F. Scott Fitzgerald in Minnesota: The Writer & His Friends at Home

One short-term outcome from our grant was that new scholarship on Fitzgerald and Saint Paul would be
made available to the public with the printing, promotion, and distribution of the book ready in time for
the biennial International Fitzgerald Society Conference in June, 2017. This outcome was achieved. An
intermediate outcome was that 1500 books would be distributed within its first year of release. As of
February, 2018, six months after publication, 1507 books have been distributed, with more than 1400
sold and the rest distributed to libraries, archives, and history centers for public use. Longterm goals
included seven major reviews, and in January 2018, the publication received a hugely positive review
published in the annual Fitzgerald Review- the annual review for Fitzgerald scholars - as well as previous
positive reviews in the Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and Rochester papers, as well as the Ramsey County
Historical Society quarterly journal.
