Bookshelf for Apes Who Read

Writing a book is hard. Publishing a book is a whole other thing.

Today’s publishing industry is a maze of agents, risk-averse publishers, and distributors who require you to do your own marketing. As Seth Godin says “What happened is that the gatekeepers, all at once lost their power. If you want to make a record, make a record. Put it on iTunes; pick yourself. If you want to write, write. Build a blog; pick yourself.”

Literate Ape Press provides services to help authors pick themselves, avoid the gatekeepers, and get their words into the hands of the world. We collaborate with the author and professional editors, designers, and other third-party experts to publish a complete piece of literature that is professional and attractive, and ideally, leads to a reasonable amount of book sales.

Literate Ape Press, Inc. makes no claim to any intellectual property rights, as all these rights and ownership remains solely with the author.

FEATURED TITLES

Hope Idiotic is a late-stage coming-of-age novel that is a sardonic and heartbreakingly honest look at how people reveal their best and worst selves when faced with their most extreme self- and fate-inflicted troubles.

The characters in this story have to learn that the hope that disappoints might be the only hope they have of ever saving themselves, and each other.

“There are many dull books about working in a Las Vegas casino, but none cuts to the bone like this one—dark, twisted, and Bukowski-esque.

The stories of deranged and delightful interactions in the Wild Wild West are what I imagine a truly demented season of Cheers might be like, an environment where everyone wants to go even if no one remembers faces and names due to all the self-inflicted debauchery happening to everyone.”
