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.

xTx has published a chapbook titled He is Talking to the Fat Lady and her short story collection Normally Special will be released by Tiny Hardcore Press March 1, 2011. Elsewhere, xTx has said she lives a very normal external life but is internally ‘fucked up.’ Her writing wavers between both moving and lewd. Her work has appeared in Word Riot, Metazen and Kill Author, among other publications.
