CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER There’s sensuality and romance around this expansive concept of wildness, but also Brandon Frohs knowledge of our place in something greater. EDITOR IN CHIEF Matt Sutherland While I’m hardly the gorp-making, backpacking type, I must admit I’ve been missing the wild myself.

I also wouldn’t mind a nighttime trek in pursuit of an owl’s hoot, or the other starshine- COPY EDITOR led activities suggested in Chelsea Green’s Wild Nights Out. In the past year, “wild” has Danielle Ballantyne become such an internal experience: of being unmoored from friends and familiar activities, of not really knowing what’s to come.

  • How to Choose a Self-Publishing Service ALLI #1
    ALLi (The Alliance of Independent Authors) is the nonprofit professional association for authors who self-publish and want to do it well. Our motto is “Working together to help each other” How to Choose a Self-Publishing Service ALLI #1 As soon as an author starts to consider self-publishing, questions begin to arise. Some are fear-based questions like: What will others think? Will I have the same status as a “properly” published writer? These we can ignore, as we must ignore all self-doubt that interferes with creative output and flow. But valid, work- centered, creative questions also arise: “Do I have what it takes to go it alone and publish well?” “What services and supports do I need?” “What kind of provider is best for me as an author and the book I want to publish?” “How much will it cost me?” “How much can I make? Do I want to make a living at this?” “Who offers the best services for me and this particular project?” It’s not easy. An industry has sprung up We all need editors and good promotional around self-publishing and it’s growing at plans, at a minimum, if we are to do this great speed, with trade publishers who job well. Many others need assistance with traditionally invested in authors now design and production issues and publicity. getting charging for services. This is why author services are now in big demand. To become a self-publisher is to step from one work sector into another. Writing is When demand for any service is high, self-expression; publishing is business, for scammers and schemers circle.

  • The Four Paths to Publishing
    THE FOUR PATHS TO PUBLISHING Revolutionary changes and unprecedented opportunities in publishing have established four clear paths that authors follow to achieve their publishing goals. by Keith Ogorek Senior Vice President of Marketing and Product Development Author Solutions, Inc. The past four years have brought about more upheaval in the publishing industry than the previous 400 years combined. From the time Gutenberg invented the printing press until the introduction of the paperback about 70 years ago, there weren’t many groundbreaking innovations. However, in the last few years, the publishing world has undergone an indie revolution similar to what occurred in the film and music industries. With the introduction of desktop publishing, print-on-demand technology, and the Internet as a direct-to-consumer distribution channel, publishing became a service consumers could purchase, instead of an industry solely dependent on middlemen (agents) and buyers (traditional publishers). In addition, the exponential growth of e-books and digital readers has accelerated change, because physical stores are no longer the only way for authors to connect with readers. While these changes have made now the best time in history to be an author, they have also made it one of the most confusing times to be an author. Not that long ago, there was only one way to get published: find an agent; hope he or she would represent you; pray they sell your book proposal to a publisher; trust the publisher to get behind the book and believe in the project; and hope that readers would go to their local bookstore and buy your book.

  • DOROTHY BARENSCOTT “Sensationalising”
    EnterText 5.1 DOROTHY BARENSCOTT “Sensationalising” Mapplethorpe a Decade Later: What Dirty Pictures can show us about the “Culture Wars” today “I’m looking for the unexpected. I’m looking for things I’ve never seen before” - Robert Mapplethorpe “No Limits” - Network Slogan for Cable TV Channel Showtime In Spring 2000, the cable television channel Showtime premiered one of the most controversial television movies of the year. Titled Dirty Pictures, the made-for-TV film was billed as a docudrama centered around the Cincinnati Contemporary Art Center’s ill-fated Robert Mapplethorpe exhibition of 1990, The Perfect Moment, and the gallery director Dennis Barrie’s personal struggle to persevere through the subsequent obscenity trial that made headlines across North America at the time. The film, however, had been the subject of its own controversy. After ten years in production, several script changes, and a move from HBO to a lesser known cable network, Dirty Pictures went through a series of legal battles after the MPAA American ratings board initially issued the finished film an NC-17 rating because of its depiction of several of the most explicit Mapplethorpe photographs.1 Not only did this ruling potentially restrict Showtime’s ability to air the final work, but it also put the film squarely in the same category as soft-core pornography. An appeal, however, succeeded Dorothy Barenscott: “Sensationalising” Mapplethorpe 59 EnterText 5.1 in having the film assigned a more-acceptable R rating. And in the same week that Dirty Pictures finally premiered, the Supreme Court ruled in a 5-4 decision to strike down a law barring sexually-explicit programming on cable television outside the hours of ten p.m.

    ENDER'S GAME by Orson Scott Card Chapter 1 -- Third "I've watched through his eyes, I've listened through his ears, and tell you he's the one. Or at least as close as we're going to get." "That's what you said about the brother." "The brother tested out impossible. For other reasons. Nothing to do with his ability." "Same with the sister. And there are doubts about him. He's too malleable. Too willing to submerge himself in someone else's will." "Not if the other person is his enemy." "So what do we do? Surround him with enemies all the time?" "If we have to." "I thought you said you liked this kid." "If the buggers get him, they'll make me look like his favorite uncle." "All right. We're saving the world, after all. Take him." *** The monitor lady smiled very nicely and tousled his hair and said, "Andrew, I suppose by now you're just absolutely sick of having that horrid monitor. Well, I have good news for you.
