Subject: query about publishing
Date: Wed, 5 Nov 2003 10:16:56 -0500 (EST)
I'm writing to ask if anyone would be interested in publishing a book of mine - any book. The last book of my work that appeared (besides .echo which is only online publish-on-demand) was fifteen years ago, Disorders of the Real, Station Hill Press. I've had numerous offers since then, and every one has fallen through. I've had a couple of chapbooks out, one of which never made it to the public. I would love to have a work that could actually appear with an isbn number in a bookstore. Almost all of my writing is online which doesn't preclude print in the slightest; when my work has appeared in anthologies, it looks fine. And I do my best (through anthologies I've edited, poetry/media series I've helped run etc.) to support the writing community myself. One book fifteen years ago, before my net writing or codework, seems relatively meagre. If you're interested, you can have whatever profits there might be (of course none), and my gratitude for your support. Please write me back-channel; I'm embarrassed enough to inquire here. - Alan
