It feels like AI is coming for us right now: its fuckwit face is there in so many things, but also, more incipiently, in the decisions companies who should have nothing to do with it are making.
But people will always want something real.

Just made a decision to put out my second short story collection in collaboration with a new small press. It's all done and will be published in autumn. More news very soon.
No advance. No "branding". Brilliant cover art and editing that I'm paying for myself.
UP THE FUCKING REVOLUTION.

Publishers: “Short stories don’t sell and are impossible to market so we are not going to take the risk of publishing them.”
Also publishers: “What can we publish to fit this era of reduced attention spans when people are reading fewer novels?”
