So life can be a bitch sometimes.  That was the lesson for the week.  I have mental health and physical health issues that both flare up on occasion, sometimes minor sometimes major.  Well this week both decided to flare up in major ways.  My physical health issues are what they are, I have multiple three foot metal rods about eighteen screws and a few spacers in my spine (dumb high school sports injury that I didn’t get fixed got worse and this is the outcome), it hurts twenty four seven but not one tenth of what it did before my surgery.  I have hip issues, directly related to my pelvis…

1-Halloween (First two together)-This is the best Halloween night viewing possible.  Lights off waiting between kids to hand out candy screaming to watch out with your friends.  Its the best way to experience it. 2-It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown and Garfield Halloween Adventure-Two of the greatest animated contributions to Halloween lore, should be required viewing if you are a child of the 70s. 3-Earnest Scared Stupid and Hocus Pocus- Great mid ground for the tweens too old for cartoons(those words should never appear together) but too young for hard horror. 4-Fear Street Trilogy- Fun films that just feel like love letters to horror in general. 5-Halloween 3 (and Real…

Mid-August I was talking with my brother about my publishing journey and how I really wanted to live out our childhood dream of having our own comic book company, well after much talking about that we decided that the first step was to do an indie publishing company instead. Were we crazy? Of course, writers have to be a little crazy don’t we? I mean we let a character in our head tell us whats going to happen next. We give life to words. And I can’t think of anything that is crazier than that. But let me get back on track, what do we know about the publishing world?…

We’ve got some exciting news to share with our incredible community of creators, readers, and supporters—Outsider Publishing has officially launched a Patreon! As many of you know, we’ve always been about giving a platform to voices and stories that live on the fringes of mainstream publishing. We believe in stories that break the mold, defy the status quo, and challenge the norms (after all we are the rebels of the written word)—and we’re so grateful to have grown together with a community that shares this vision. Now, with the launch of our Patreon, we’re taking things to the next level. This platform will allow us to bring even more bold, unique,…

       Every Christmas Eve we would all gather in the van, big green stinky ass hazard it was, the booger machine and other dumb ass nicknames our childhood friends had given the tank, and we would make the trip to a family members house, usually my 2nd cousin Sue (who despite being our second cousin, we all called Aunt Sue). It was me, my sisters, all four of them (well two were technically not sisters, they were my mom’s live in boyfriend’s daughters, but had been there for by this point, five maybe six years, I’m not sure on the full timeline really, a horrible thing to hear this early…

Another Indy publisher, why should we care?  While dismissive and kinda arseface thing to say it is a valid question.  In today’s flooded market you do need a reason for people to care and we get that.  We feel that if we can not offer something unique then we shouldn’t be offering anything.  So then the question becomes what do we offer that others do not….  That is somehow both an easy question to answer and an incredibly complex one to explain.             The first thing that we need to establish is that all creators deserve the outlet to get themselves seen.  This is one of the founding principles we set our foundation upon. Not every creator…

Part 1 Rules to the Game 1.  Readers are our family.  We aren’t creating readers we are creating a community.  We will treat them right; without them we are just shouting at the moon by ourselves. 2.  We respect out family above all else.  Again, we need them more than they need us, there will be other books for them, we might not get more readers without them . 3.  Creators are to have freedom to tell whatever story they want, no subject shall be off limits, only good taste and common sense shall limit what we publish. 4.  We DO NOT TOLERATE anything hateful.  We will NOT publish anything…

Friday the 13th in September is one of life’s great pleasures. Its the first month of fall(depending on the part of the country you are in it might be a month away yet or you might be a month into it, Im playing with averages, and also talking about my country of origin and am aware its different…you know what let me just move on.  My point is its near the start of Fall/Autumn and thats spooky season in my part of the woods.  But its also close enough to tthe end of summer where a film about summer camp will still hit and give you warm summer hang out…

Hi guys and let me officially welcome you to Outsider Publishing Company. We started out as a brother and sister that had a dream of writing books and comics and 30 years or so later here we are, finally making our dreams come true. It not the route we thought it would be. We thought we would be writing comics first and books second, but it looks like we are doing it in reverse. We have our first Anthology coming out later this year (release date will be announce soonish) but the point of this point is share that we have a cover! I kind of want to walk you…
