YOU DOWN WITH VCP?

Josh brooding over his theory of VCP.

HILOBROW’s Josh Glenn is one of the world’s most insightful and inspiring theorists of generativity. He’s often asked to speak at conferences such as SXSW and AWP on the topic of, for example, “The Secrets and Surprises of DIY Promotion” and “Finding Money, Time and a Place to Create: Upbeat News in a Down Economy.” (His most recent appearance was a Google Talk, here in Boston earlier this month, in which he and his long-time collaborator, Tony Leone, deconstructed their creative process.) You’re already familiar with Josh’s theory of Schmoozitsu, of course. Sometime in January, February, or March, we’ll publish his long-awaited theory of the Virtuous Circle of Procrastination (VCP). Naturally, we don’t know exactly when this post will appear; that would be a contradiction in terms.

Stay tuned!

HiLoBooks will continue to serialize Helen MacInnes’s 1944 espionage adventure novel The Unconquerable, and William Haggard’s 1963 espionage adventure The High Wire (which will wrap up in late February).

Also! In February, we’ll begin serializing Hammond Innes’s 1951 espionage/crime/Robinsonade adventure Air Bridge. Set in England during the Berlin blockade and airlift of 1948–49, the novel’s protagonist is a mercenary pilot… but is he a traitor?

We’ll no doubt launch a third serialized novel during 1Q2015, as well.
