Once Upon a Punk Show almost died on the vine thanks to the Great Burnout.
The story about that is only semi public because the other players are still in the SFF publishing orbit. And godpunk is a small sub-sub-genre.
Suffice to say I had an agent string me along with that book for over a year.

It took a bunch of my friends with an interest in my book and, frankly, not wanting to be an imposter on the Trans SF Writer's pack, to get me to hustle the book into the world.

Hey everybody quit pirating books, wouldja?
Here I was, fretting over sales and Goodreads ratings that are so-so at best, and it turns out it doesn't matter cause people just want your stuff for free.
This especially hurts BIPOC authors like me, who already have a tough go in an industry where people think we're not worth buying or reading.
