  • E-Book Formatting, Independent Publishing, The Clunkiness of the Material Universe, You Owe Me $25
    E-book formatting can be a real pain in the ass, especially when you're publishing an e-book of poetry.  Paul and I make an attempt to find solutions to common formatting problems, then discuss how the life of a traditionally published author is probably a huge pain in the ass too, because having to tour the material universe is a pain in the ass. We remember Abdul Kasent and the Off Broadway rehearsal house with fondness.
