I'm going to start trying to reach out to new publishers for short-form work soon so if anyone knows of anyone, or IS someone that might be interested in a genre-fiction loving weirdo and his words, I'd love to know about it. Thank you!

Happy Pride Month everyone. This is your reminder that Wizard's Tower is a proudly trans-owned company. Not everything we publish has queer themes, but this book contains three stories by trans women, and one very trans-positive story by a cis woman.

So, I think it's time I begin, in detailed specifics, talking about the mess that is Unbound / Boundless as a book publisher, in essence stealing most of a years royalties from me and many other authors, as a result of poor financial decisions, and legal BS. Please read and share this thread.
