Flatmancrooked
I’ve been waiting a long time to write this post, and now that it’s upon me, I can’t seem to find any more interesting way to express it than by getting right to the point: Flatmancrooked will be publishing Forecast in 2010.
FMC is a new press. It is a small press. And it is a very ambitious press. They have big ideas about what 21st century publishing has the potential to become, and I’m both excited and humbled that they’ve asked me to be a part of their visionary project.
This is the first of what will doubtless be a series of FMC-related posts, as we embark upon the great journey of turning a novel into a book.
(For those of you who’ve been following along with the serialization, think of it as a sneak peak of the novel in draft form: the novel is undergoing some significant changes during revision. Feel free to send me any comments you have on the serialized version–who knows? They could find their way into the print version.)

What you have done and what FMC is doing for writers – ROCKS! I predict good things. Respectfully, Kenny

YES! Man, I’ve been hoping this would happen, and I’m so happy it finally is. And I’m really glad it’s with FMC. I really dig what those guys are doing and Forecast is a perfect fit for them.
Congrats!

This is great news. I like too the idea of a book in many forms. And so now there is a “beta” novel on the Web, where people have commented along the route.
