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.

“To be perfectly honest, I tell authors their literary novel is 'brave' when I mean 'unsellable.' We publish it anyway for awards consideration, print 2,000 copies, and remainder 1,600 of them by Christmas. Everyone pretends this is fine.”
