Headlines! We has them.
Look out, world, there’s an interesting book coming down the pipeline you might like. It’s a collection of (true!) short stories about the world of sex, relationships, and the awkward stuff that comes in between (wakka!). It’s not only an extremely interesting idea but it’s also done by a friend-o mine, Ms Meaghan O’Connell, who is not only super adorable but also fits neatly into overhead storage compartments on airplanes (she is very tiny). Regardless, check out the video below and oh-my-gawd look forward to this book coming (wakka!) out soon (puns!).
“We want to produce this book because we want to read it; it’s something we’ve been looking for for a long time and haven’t found yet. Compelling writing that doesn’t skip over the interesting parts, writing that is willing to go there, to be brave and to dwell in it, the way few published authors have.
But where we did find this kind of work was online. It seems like everywhere we looked there were people, emboldened maybe by that distance of the computer monitor or the semi-anonymity of a username, drawn out by the encouragement of these little pockets of internet communities, pushing each other to report back from the thick of things, and to do it well.
The lack of good storytelling about sex in print feels ridiculous, bizarre. And now that we have on-demand publishers, Kickstarter, and an internet community of contributors and supporters and potential audience looking to fill the very same void, there is no longer any excuse.”
