FOOT IN THE DOOR PRESS

We'll call it Foot in the Door Press. When Publish America (tell me that's not a lame title for a publishing house!) had my book a professor said, "This is like your foot in the door..." to beigger and better things. To the major publishing houses.

Well, fuck the major publishing houses. Fiction writing in America is shitty and so are the houses that publish it. We're going to do something new here. Remember Kerouac and Hemingway? Remember Plath and Woolf. Remember when writers had the LIFE and they were personalities. Rememember when authors were concerned with telling stories and not with being called serious writers? Well, we're bringing all that shit back. I swear. We're going to say, fuck New York City and all that Simon and Schuster bullshit and start a new thing. Young people will be excited and write in their full passionate voices. The old will see hope for tomorrow. We will be Alanis Morissette meets Liz Phair meets Quentin Tarantino with a Dostoyevsky sensilibity.

Foot in the Door Press is, so far:

David Mc.Nelis: executive editor and photographer
Shawn Delahanty: layout manager
Breain Ma'Ayteh: assistant editor
Helen Hawarth: assistant editor
Christopher L. Gibson: producer and managing editor

and we will be glad to take a certain London Kennedy's work very shortly.
