My name's Rio from Pioneers Press. Pioneers Press is an independent publisher and distributor
of small-press, do-it-yourself material, from books and zines to much more. It's a super
small operation based off a farm in Kansas and staffed by nice folks who have years of
publishing experience. After fourteen months of being around, we're excited to announce
our first published novel: Caveworld, by Adam Gnade. Hey, my name is Adam Gnade. Caveworld
is my second novel. I've been working on it for the past four years now. I started on
the day my first novel, Hymn California, came out. It's been a steady thing since then...some
big, long, ten, twelve-hour days working on it. It's hard to explain what a book is about
that you've written but I tried to put everything I know in it, whether that's love, or death,
or money, school, work, suicide, depression, celebration, travel. It's an American novel
in the way that Walker Percy said that all American novels should be about everything.
So, I hope that comes through, and I hope you like it. Thanks a lot. The project is
simple. We'll print one thousand affordable, trade paperback copies of Caveworld using
the funds raised. When you donate, it's basically a pre-order of the novel, plus perks ranging
from screen printed t-shirts to limited edition hardcover copies. Using the sales from Caveworld,
Pioneers plans to release several new titles by independent authors in the upcoming year.
By helping fund this project, we'll do our part to help keep small press in business.
Thanks for your support, and for being awesome.
