Subject: need publisher, help, please reply backchannel
Date: Sat, 7 Feb 2009 17:19:25 -0500 (EST)
Hi - I'm writing a generic letter, apologies; I want to find a publisher for my theoretical work, and everything continues to fall through. At one point Minnesota was going to work with us - us being Sandy Baldwin, who created a framework for my texts - and Sandy wasn't able to continue on the project (he's fully supportive; it was a question of time) - Minnesota withdrew. If you have any idea or better yet, the possibility of publica- tion, please let me know. I have a text out with Fort-Da but there's been no money for an ISBN number, so that's unadvertised; WVU might do something in the future with my texts on writing, if a series gets going, but that's speculative. The texts I've been writing have been on two main themes, and have been collected as such - one on the phenomenology of the analog and digital and their intertwining; and one on the phenomenology of the real/virtual and their intertwining. The latter uses Second Life as a model; the former is more purely theoretical. Neither need illustration. I feel ridiculous sending out a public letter like this, but I'm at wit's end - my writing might not be worth collecting for that matter, and I have no academic affiliation, so it's difficult to get anyone interested. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please write me backchannel or ignore this, and thanks for reading. (I know I write overmuch, but the mss have always been edited. Salt brought out a book of literary writing in 2004, and that was the last of it.)
