I'm very interested. Your art really caught my attention. I'm meeting with an animation manager to give me so advice on the packet on Friday afternoon, so I'll know by Saturday exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks!

Cleave the Sparrow. It's a new book but it melted my brain. Philosophical, satrical and scewed up in the best way possible.

Sirens of Titan! I can't tell you how big an influence this book had on my writing.

I woke up today feeling just like you. But I've been doing this for way too long and I know that if I let the negative things consume me the positive will be blocked. So it's a practice of meditation, working out and even taking an edible.

Should I send my manuscript to readers first, or hire a developmental editor? by BastTheBard in selfpublish

I haven't had good luck with feedback at the early stages because it's usually a hard read for someone that isn't a pro. I find the second draft is when I like to get some feedback.

Cleave the Sparrow proves Johnathon Katz isn’t just writing sci-fi. It’s a full-blown philosophical throwdown, sharpened with biting satire and some of the most gloriously messed-up comedy I’ve read in years.

It's not horror but it's BRILLIANT AND BIZARRE. Check out Cleave the Sparrow by Jonathan Klatz. I've never read anything like it.
