Thanks for perusing. The contents of this blog are selections from my books, published and unpublished.

They say you should "be the change you want to see," and I'm embracing that now that the publishing industry as we knew it is largely collapsed, and literature flattened by techno-platform-commerce into its mostly easily consumed algorithmic essence.

So: rather than authors clamoring for the attention of agents and their manuscript wish lists (#mswl), I believe authors should be in the power position, with agents seeking access to the products of their labor. If you're with me, use #aml for author manuscript list.
