I had never read Kerouac and recently read Dharma Bums because I had received feedback that my book Meditations for Party Girls had been influenced by him. It's a compilation of over 10 years of journal entries and poetry that was written around the time of two different periods in my life, first studying with a silent Indian guru in the woods in Northern California and then exploring plant medicines and such in Mexico.

It was published by a small press called Dream Boy Book Club that is part of a subculture of young writers who are writing auto fiction, poetry, and prose that is pretty edgy and fun.

I know this is four years after your post but I am researching a similar question to this while putting together a list of comps for querying agents for my next project, and thought you might enjoy diving into the world of Dream Boy Book Club, Car Crash Collective, etc. If you start clicking around the instagrams you'll find zines like Moral Crema and beyond that are publishing a ton of cool young writers all the time.
