Can you define for readers who might not know what punk fiction is?

Lisa Czarina Michaud Sure. This is what me and my team have come up with and I think it's perfect for what we're going for with these novels.

Similar to the ethos of its music counterpart, punk fiction doesn't ask for permission. It's not seeking approval from gatekeepers. It's not for everyone. It's not trying to get a pat on the head. It's not trying to be anything other than itself. It's not afraid to be a little different. But above all, it's not here to people-please.

What is it? It's breaking the rules. It's starting your own shit. It's a grassroots operation. It's messy. It's usually broke. It's imperfect. It's street smart. It's observing pop culture. It's records that define you. It's Kurt Cobain wearing a 'Corporate Magazines Still Suck' t-shirt on the cover of Rolling Stone. It's the playlist you made for someone. It's taking risks and listening to your gut when crafting story. It's defying the trends. It's writing from the heart. It's real....it's punk fiction. (less)
