I\u2019ve been following a minor drama going on between some science fiction authors about a new publisher called Ark Press<\/a>.\u00a0 Most of the controversy centers around whether this new publisher is being funded by billionaire Peter Thiel and whether he originally was trying to buy another publisher Baen Books.\u00a0 Baen is almost the only science fiction publisher that isn\u2019t horribly woke.\u00a0 So, from my point of view, both Baen and Ark are both the best fit for publishers I would submit my Sniper novel to.\u00a0 And that\u2019s not to say I think either one would be a slam dunk to buy my book.\u00a0 But I think they are the only traditional publishing choices that are even possible.<\/p>\n

Eventually I found a YouTube video where the main editor of Ark Press (D.J. Butler) answers a bunch of questions about Ark Press and some misinformation about the relationship between Ark and Baen.<\/p>\n
