"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.

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:

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.
