Small press success story
Via IMDB, I stumbled across the following fun fact: Shane Jones’s Light Boxes, published by Publishing Genius, recently had its movie rights purchased by Spike Jonze. This is a huge deal for Publishing Genius, which my friend Adam Robinson founded a few years ago, and will hopefully give PG and small presses more generally closer to the amount of credibility they deserve.

Thanks a lot, Adam. Huge deal, and in fact “beyond my wildest expectations” would be an understatement. Doesn’t hurt that there is a bit of a Spike Jonze influence on the whole book.

That looks like a very attractive book, physically.
Also, does this mean that either Adam R. or the author of Light Boxes (curiously unnamed on the press’s page?) is wealthy?

Shane Jones, apparently. Is Shane Jones rich?

I’ve added the author’s name. I agree on the attractiveness of the book’s design.

Oh man, I can’t believe after 5 months this is the first time I’m realizing his name isn’t on that page.
Geez.

The official website of the book, though, is http://www.wickedsad.com — and it’s a beast.

Actually, you can see his name if you look at the picture of the book.
