Would like to see new books published that are genuinely transgressive. Not reactionary, and for the love of all things holy not ironic, but dangerously unique and boldly authentic.

In plainer English: books with a strong voice written by people with no cops in their heads and no fear in their hearts.

The only way to accurately represent lower class America in fiction is to make exploitation. Most writers are so far from the gutter, they don't realize how hard it earns that title.

if you have principles to stand on, you can speak your mind whenever. no need to wait on a respected peer to validate your thoughts. fear of ostracization is the trait of a child. consider today, whether expressing or internalizing it, at least developing your own belief system.

if you don't care enough about your book to push and promote as passionately as you wrote it, why should anyone read or notice it. you can write 3,000 words of black-pilled excuses or you can start giving a shit about your work.

Editing this book by

is walking a tightrope between nuanced satire and full-blown parody, but the other end of that balancing act is a secret third thing that is emotionally and spiritually profound, however hilarious and offensive it may also be.

God Is Wearing Black
by Kelby Losack
Like teeth grinding in the hot sun, like sweat dripping from the barrel of a gun, like a bad cough inside a ski mask, like scorched glass.
Incendiary.

Ingram no longer charges for uploading titles or registering an original ISBN with barcode. There is zero reason for indie presses and self-pub authors to be using KDP anymore, which I would advise against, as someone whose royalties have been locked by Amazon for 6 months now.

I ain’t re-releasing the bibliography til either someone throws a good advance my way or I set up some design-heavy print runs (French flaps, deckled edges, interior art...) Whichever comes first. Top priority is writing the next shit, tho, so hit ebay if you want the classics.

Crucial plot turns and arc shifts in the next novel clicked while I was mowing the lawn. Tip of the day: go mow or paint something before you write.

Charlene Elsby's approach to the novel reminds me a lot of Ryu Murakami's in the way both authors have narrators whose personalities are the personality of the story. Both depict gruesome, ridiculous violence in this emotionally detached but intellectually curios way.

Sell dope or do something else that will get you locked up. Work construction or food service. Read a lot of manga. Tune out what everyone's into and find what speaks solely to you.

And Ingram is just an affordable, easy platform with POD and distribution channels. Of course there's print run avenues, there's Bookvault which values print options and quality over wide distribution. There's lots of directions to go away from the red-taped by bot mods KDP.

Izumi Suzuki isn't contemporary, but she's just now being translated into English. I've already suggested Elle Nash's Deliver Me, you know the Broken River crew, and I'd add Charlene Elsby's Violent Faculties as a strong suggestion.

also also: buckle up for the long game. you didn't "publish a book," you're a writer. write another one and another one. fuller tables sell better, thicker bibliography encourages collector mentality, bigger splash makes more ripples, etc
