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 acquire are because the author has 100K+ followers, not because they can write. I've rejected Pulitzer-quality manuscripts because the author didn't 'have platform.' We're not publishers anymore—we're influencer talent agencies with ISBN numbers.”
