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 written by established authors under pseudonyms because the market says it wants fresh voices but won't take risks on actual unknowns.”
