MISSION STATEMENT for
AAH PUBLISHED AT LAST
Herein you'll find a selection of stories that will enjoy being read. For they've too long sat,
stuffed in file drawers, dying to get out into the sunlight and get read by whomever wishes
to do so. AND IT'S ALL FREE to READ, FREE to PRINT OUT, FREE to KEEP.
The only caveat is: When anyone...a publisher, an editor...or anyone else, purchases any
of these stories, terms of sale may (at times) preclude that story or stories from being
displayed here temporarily or permanently after that sale.
My motivation for publishing my literature here follows:
For centuries, writers have been forced to delay publication, or never see our works in print.
Because we've relied on book publishers and periodical editors to decide when, or even if,
our works will ever see the light of day. And whether you, our reader, should ever get to
enjoy our works.
This has been an arbitrary process with ALL the marbles in the court of those publishers and
editors. All the while, like most actors pounding the pavement, from audition to audition,
striving for that elusive Broadway or Hollywood role, we majority of talented writers have
grown gray-haired waiting for our "luck" to change, giving up on the endless and varied
demands of "Writers' Guidelines," tight contest deadlines, grants that take booklength amounts
of our creative hours to apply for.
All we want is a Platform Where Readers Have Access to Our Original Writings
That, without all the endless back-and-forths of being hopeful supplicants, sending ceaseless
"cover letters," "sample chapters," "explanatory notes about our completed pieces". Then
we writers would be free to do what we do best...WRITE! Write our original constructions,
that is. Not all those marketing and supplicative activities that rarely generate a publishing
contract. Wasting our Creative Time is truly a crime. We have one lifetime to get our
creations accomplished...this is it. We deserve to be involved more in our
Creative Processes than trapped in all that time-robbing, marketing our stuff.
Along Comes a Technological Savior
Freeing Writers to Self-Publish
(Enter laughing) Ha! I invented AAH PUBLISHED AT LAST to get my works directly
to my real reading public...no longer to harried editors and publishers who have too much
to read, and who don't always have a gifted eye for quality writing.
Ergo, Welcome to the New World for Writers Everywhere!
THE INTERNET IS HERE...aah published at last!
At last, we can SELF-PUBLISH without aloof intermediaries (agents, reps, editors,
publishers...and assorted [or is that "sordid"] other "experts") intercepting or being
nonresponsive to our creations. We can even give away our works for FREE.
And/or we can ask eager readers to send a few dollars...but only if they can.
~ No more time-wasting
~ No more unpublished manuscripts languishing in our file cabinets
~ No more wondering if readers will ever get the chance to read our ideas and
our unique ways of sculpting them with words
~ We can expose our works online by providing our words directly to everyone
~ Everyone can copy and print out our works
~ Call mine: "THE COVERLESS BOOK"
