It started when I dreamt that I was riding in a car with three tough guys.It was an old car, something from the early 1900’s, and the tough guys were dressed like liquor peddling gangsters...........
My City has an insatiable appetite its belly swells on the decadence it consumes spitting out ruins and decay of dreams gone away only taking in what it deems worthy.

About OW!
Outsider Writers have been distributing chapbooks in dark subterranean caverns for too long. The corporate presses and literary institutions have no vision. The media is irrelevant. It's time to rise into the sun!
Our Goal: Unite the write! We will join forces where we are strong, eliminate duplication of effort where we are weak and put the power and authority over literature back into the hands of the only legitimate owners: the authors and the readers.
