To reiterate: the words “radical,” “rebel,” and “insurgent” can’t be appropriated. They need to be earned. Please halt the fraudulence.

p.s. Isn’t it kind of laughable for you to refer to yourself as a publishing “insurgent,” when you’ve played the conformist game from day one? If you ever care to meet real literary insurgents, please let me know! (Tame pets inside the establishment mansion looking out at a roaming wild dogpack– that’s your world versus ours.)

This all sounds great– but the reality is a gigantic media conglomerate creating its own opposition, coopting authentic indy writers and publishers in the process. There IS an authentic underground meanwhile which consists of writers definitely outside the gentrified tops-down preppy “mainstream” which HarperStudio so well embodies.

This post reminds me of the eighth wonder of the world which I happened upon today while browsing through the ninth wonder of the world (also known as PSFK). Apparently, while most of us were doing underwhelming things on June 27th a group of insanely attractive Belgians were creating a magazine in one hell of a time frame (24 hours). They aptly called the magazine, 24Hour Magazine. It’s a 47 page publication featuring pieces on everything from Darwinian evolution to Celine Lelouche’s archietectually inspired fashions. As if this feat were simple enough, the staff behind 24Hour Magazine made full use of new media. They blogged. They twittered. They vimeoed. They flickered, even. Alright, now for the shameless self promotion. I wrote a short piece on my blog about how the publishing model behind 24Hour Magazine can be applied to the book industry.

Debbie, I took the Publishing Reset Workshop in the spring. Janet and Suzanne Falter-Barns, herself an author, are very powerful together. Whoever can get this program on audio + teleseminar, go for it. Your reward will be the kind of turbo-charged clarity that keeps on kicking in.
