Nimble Publishing

Jason Boog

May 31, 2006

Via an off-handed link lodged in Nick Mamatas' virtual battle of wits with Jason Pettus, I just discovered a happy little publishing company.

Go check out BenBella Books, a sweet house with a LiveJournal page and an even sweeter book series called Smart Pop.

I dig the company style, mixing up academic publishing with the obsessive, interactive love of fan fiction. In the future, these nimble, community-centered companies will set the publishing standard.

Check it out...

"We only publish books that we care passionately about, books that are exciting, fun or profound. We'd rather publish fewer books than publish anything we aren't crazy about. But we aren’t snobs. Just because a book is intelligent doesn't mean it can't also be fun."

Dear Jason,

Cheers,
