Put my insides on the outside: An interview with xTx
February 23rd, 2011 § 9 Comments
The first print run of Normally Special, xTx's short story collection from Tiny Hardcore Press, sold out in pre-order and is already headed into a second print run.
This is part four of an interview series focusing on how the Internet is changing/improving/destroying the “indie lit” world. Interviews will feature writers, editors, designers and other artists with a web presence. I recently spoke with xTx over gmail chat. Some spelling has been corrected and time stamps have been removed but abbreviations, punctuation and line breaks have been preserved to give an ~accurate account of what conducting an interview online looks like.
Other interviews in this series include DJ Berndt, Frank Hinton and Stephen Tully Dierks.
