  1. To Every Writer, Author, and Reader Out There — I Want to Tell You About My Book

    I want to talk about my debut novel, "Wonderment Within Weirdness." Not in a sales pitch kind of way, not with a rehearsed elevator pitch or a list of reasons you absolutely must buy it right now. I just want to talk about it honestly, the way I would if we were sitting somewhere having a real conversation. I have been thinking a lot lately about how to share this book with more people, particularly with the writing and reading communities that I genuinely respect and engage with, and I […]

  2. Tomorrow (Saturday) at West St. Pete Community Library 11am-3pm. Full list of participating zinesters: printstpete.org/spzf. There’s one other Sarasota zine maker on the list who I’ve never met or even heard of. His zine is called “Fast Food Legend” and he seems hilarious.

  3. Dropped some #zines off at Mindset Boardshop in Sarasota. The owner, Ryan, just moved here a year ago, is into #PunkRock and sometimes uses the parking lot behind his shop as a place for bands to play. I’m so excited to share this stuff with folks in town who have no idea about Sarasota’s #PunkPast.

  4. She's done! Looks way better in print, but I've got the digital flipbook version linked in my blog. If you read it, I'd love it if you left a comment afterward.

    "Paradise Lost: Sarasota, Florida Hardcore & Punk Scene 1980s-1990s" is an interview zine about memory and subculture in the face of urban renewal. 68 pages, color cover, b&w interior.

  5. Book Marketing and PR Part XX: 2026 Interview Series

    This year, for The Buzz series, I will interview marketing-minded authors and other book-loving creators who are doing great things in our industry. For the last few years, the vast majority of authors – particularly those in the non-fiction world – have asked me about podcasts: how to get booked, what to speak about, and what the expectation is.
    According to Podcastatistics , 55% of the US population listens to podcasts each month. Currently, there are over 4.58 million podcasts worldwide. The global podcast industry is also on the rise, expected to reach $39.63 billion this year, up from $30.72 billion in 2024.
    So you want to be a guest on a podcast? Here are a few things you should do first:…

  7. 📣 Our friends at the #ScholCommLab have published a preprint, "The Drain of #ScientificPublishing", and are calling for #research communities, funders, governments, and #universities to "re-communalise publishing to serve #science not the market"

    PKP supports this call, and works to develop and maintain free open software for independent scholarly publishing.

  9. My edition ’Bolzano’ is now available from Silly Gooze Editions.

    3 colour Risograph print
    Alga Carta Ivory 300gsm paper
    320mm x 432mm
    Edition of 50, plus 5 Artist Proofs
    Published by Silly Gooze Editions

    £40 unframed. Framing options available.

    Silly Gooze proudly offers a non-hierarchical artist editions store, where all commissioned editions are priced at £40, regardless of the artist’s career stage, making high-quality art accessible to everyone.

    In addition

    We don’t just include queer and neurodivergent makers, we centre them.

    When Silly Gooze makes a surplus, 10% goes straight to local LGBTQIA+ and neurodiverse charities. Through our editions store, we prioritise publishing works by artists whose voices are too often pushed aside. The press isn’t neutral here, it’s noisy, messy, and proudly kin-powered.

  11. It's been 6 months of The Bryant Blog. That's bananas to me. But what's even crazier is how much success we've found in that short amount of time! Check out my post about it where we break down the numbers:

    I was nodding in sympathetic agreement as I read this post, until I reaches the paragraph where it says ...

  13. People often ask me what I listen to when I’m in creating mode, whether in painting or writing. This year was mostly writing. I finished the 10 year trajectory of working on my novel Otter Coast, a medical marijuana mystery (to be published in a few weeks - novel #2 in the ecofiction series) listening primarily to Ludovico Einaudi. And according to Spotify, I am in the top listeners to Einaudi in the US (probably in the world, I would guess). Here’s to creative influence! Thank you Mr. Einaudi!
