"Objection! Badgering the witness!" has a nice ring to it.

For a sample of Sadie's poetry - a recent piece featured in The Scotsman.

And ... yes, the title and cover art have a few riffs on The Usual Suspects! 😀

I think they were an influence on some of Prince's R&B tracks - he did a cover of La-La in the 90s. princevault.com/index.php/La...

Wouldn't be a bad title for the next single or EP?

Ideally, 50+ pages, leaving out formatting pages like the TOC, etc. Less than 10% prepub.

For a sense of the books from our 2023 and 2024 series, please look over the "Press > Books" section of our site: ogre.red/press/books/ We like books that take a few creative risks and push genre boundaries.

We're still getting situated on Bluesky - reposts to help get the word out are much appreciated!

Maybe "vacillating between occasionally amused, sometimes annoyed, but mostly indifferent" would be more accurate? I think adding software-written books to the mix won't change much about the appeal of regular books (assuming they're well-written, etc.). Might even help as points of comparison.

I wonder if that counts as an unregistered security for SEC enforcement purposes. He hasn't been sworn in yet - that couldn't possibly be an "official act" for immunity purposes.

Tongue-in-cheek commentary aside ... that actually is a pretty good example of what machine learning does best - making hyperfocused tools for specific purposes.

Thank you! It's a great press, if you're thinking about circulating a microcollection at some point.

Somehow the results aren't that surprising. Gen AI looks for the "most likely" result given a prompt and some predictive rules, so for people who haven't read much poetry ... that could be easier to parse. The subtleties of authorial personality / diction / context? Not so hot at that.
