Every week, reading manuscripts from authors who have devoted themselves to creating entire narrative worlds, reminds me why independent publishing matters.

My editorial process is simple: read manuscripts, make notes, and keep Joyce, Nabokov and Pasternak within arm's reach in case literary brilliance is absorbed by osmosis. Results remain inconclusive.

The most common editorial note I wrote this week?

Trust the reader.

If every emotion is explained, there's nothing left for the reader to discover.

Great fiction invites participation.

When Envy Isn’t Enough.
I spent far too long trying to fix one word: envy.
It worked on paper, but completely missed the cultural nuance of the Ayin Hara.
The problem wasn’t the word, but the structure.

Most writing isn’t bad.

It’s hiding.

Behind style.
Behind clarity.
Behind what it thinks it should be.
We’re looking for work that doesn’t hide.

In this @Substack article for @PynewoodPress, Shmuel, our Managing Editor, discusses the idea that the potential of 'good' writing is lost when it is hidden beneath style, or convention. What are your thoughts?
