Editor's Disclaimer

To be very honest — nobody actually said this. AI wrote it in the style of the archive to keep this page from feeling empty while we chase down real quotes. Enjoy the fiction responsibly.

“If I'm being honest, half the books we publish as 'debut novels' are actually seventh drafts from authors who've been rejected for decades. But debut sounds sexier for marketing, so we pretend they emerged fully formed like Athena.”
