Josh Raab - Editor

In our first three years we raised $35k for our pocket-sized magazine of experimental fiction. This eventually branched into a full-fledged publishing house releasing a couple books a year as well as posting stories daily on the Electric Encyclopedia of Experimental Literature.

I read submissions, edit the books, magazine, host the events, and everything in between! We've been featured in the LA Review of Books, the LA Times, The Guardian, The Millions, and promoted by Daniel Handler and Margaret Atwood.

We also put on crazy literary events, offer editing services, and host online collaborative writing experiments.

Worked on creating Random House's first in-house produced e-book. Sourced art, worked with programmers, editors, and the author to create an interactive, first of it's kind digital reading experience.

This is an exciting and beautiful book of interactive-fiction. Twitter length stories leave you with two options enabling you to jump around this narrative. A story called "Invade" threads throughout the book but in between you’ll find yourself on rickety bridges, in abusive relationships, analyzing literature with dragons, and printing some pages to fold into paper airplanes.
