Underground Literary Alliance

I've had a good time over the past seven years in the Underground Literary Alliance, a group of zine writers. I read at some of their readings; published in their zines; organized a blog, literary festival, and tour for them; and done many other cool activities with the group. They even published my first book, a fact for which I will be eternally grateful! But there's been some squabbling in the group recently over a proposed literary anthology, and I think it's rather silly, so rather than waste time in a literary feud, I've decided to quit to focus on my own writing. I wish the group well, and will remain a fan, but I'm no longer a member.
