Paul Elam reannounces the relaunch of A Voice for Men's Possibly Still Unnamed Publishing House for Men Who Don't Write Good

Paul Elam contemplates his future as an e-book millionaire
Paul Elam contemplates his future as an e-book millionaire

How often has this happened to you? You’re reading a thoughtful blog post or comment from a Men’s Rights Activist and you find yourself thinking:

“Gosh! This post or comment on how women are a bunch of malevolent parasites/men are the real slaves if you think about it/women were never oppressed because they could just get maids to clean the house is so witty and wise. I only wish it were 50 times longer, and that I had to pay money to read it!”

Well, I’ve got good news for you: Now you can!

A Voice for Men, having already given the voiceless male gender a way to express itself online, has now launched A Publishing House for Men to give them a way to express themselves in book form!

Well, e-book form.

A Voice for Men’s new publishing house has just published its first book – well, e-book — a slim volume of thoughts on Men Going Their Own Way, written by Peter Wright of Gynocentrism.com with help from AVFM’s Paul Elam, using some material already published online!

Well, technically speaking, this is a relaunch. AVFM Press originally launched last October with the publication of this same book. But Elam decided to call a do-over. No, really.

On October 25th, you see, a bulletin on AVFM proclaimed that AVFM Press was publishing Go Your Own Way: Understanding MGTOW — an e-book it predicted would be but “the first of what will surely become a lengthy series of ebooks (and some hardcovers as well). … let’s get AVFM Press on the map as the iconic source for true red pill appetites.” (A source for appetites? I thought the source for appetites was an empty stomach?)

One day later, Elam announced that he was recalling the e-book.

What I have discovered … is that there were several procedural, legal, and formatting errors that should have been addressed before launching the book.

I made a whole bushel of lemons, folks, and the fault for that lies squarely on me.

But I do make some pretty good lemonade, which I am in the midst of doing as we speak.

I have pulled the book from Amazon Kindle for the time being, and I am removing purchase links from every place they now exist.

After the deficiencies with the product have been corrected, it will be re-launched at a level of quality that AVFM readers deserve, which is the very best possible. All the other issues will be corrected as well.

Please accept my apologies for the mistakes. This whole process of publishing is quite complicated, actually.

It is, Paul, it is.

Happily, Elam announced, the eager customers who’d hurried to buy a copy of the defective book on its first day of publication would be given a copy of the corrected book when it came out. All twelve of them.

That last bit isn’t a joke; according to Elam himself, there were literally twelve of them – less than half the number of those on AVFM’s masthead.

Elam also decided to call a do-over on AVFM Press itself – or at least its name — declaring that

AVFM Press is actually a working title for our publishing arm and will likely change very soon.

But now all the details have been sorted out, right? Well, mostly.

Yesterday’s big announcement on the launch – the real launch, this time – of AVFM’s new publishing house did not actually provide a name for the venture. At least not one that I could find. On Amazon, the publisher of the revised edition of Go Your Own Way is still listed as AVFM Press.

But never mind, because the book is getting rave reviews on Amazon!

For example, a woman named Suzy McCarley declares that the book “was worth the wait!”

Ok, so McCarley is an AVFM staffer who’s given 5-star reviews to everything she’s reviewed — from self–published books by manosphere blogger Aaron Clarey to Avalon Extra Moisturizing Fragrance Free Conditioner. But not all of the rave reviews are written by AVFM staffers under their own names. For example, a fellow calling himself xtime Past gushes:

There is great content for Men and Women of all ages. Most of red pill are apprehensive in reading this book since Paul Elam is a part of the MHRA arm of the manosphere. The read is great for MGTOW to better understand going their own way.

So I would like to congratulate AVFM’s Possibly Still Unnamed Publishing House for Men Who Don’t Write Good for getting off to such a strong start, at least if you ignore that first start that didn’t go so well.

During AVFM’s last donation drive, Elam declared that:

This year will see AVFM go into commercial ventures that will fund even more activism. I cannot go into any details at this point, but rest assured it is coming, and as with most everything else we have set out to do, we are going to pull it off. This track will ease the pressure on some of our larger donors who have always seen us through donation drives.

AVFM’s Possibly Still Unnamed Publishing House for Men Who Don’t Write Good is the first of these new money-making ventures. Because as everyone knows, a vanity publishing house that so seriously fucks up its first e-book launch that it has to do it over again two months later is pretty much guaranteed to be a massive cash-generating machine.

It kind of needs to be, as AVFM’s last donation drive (which just ended) didn’t do quite as well as Elam had hoped, at least according to this little thermometer graphic posted on AVFM.

Oops. Didn't quite clear the hurdle.
Oops. Didn’t quite clear the hurdle.

I can only assume that authors will be rushing to sign up with AVFM’s Possibly Still Unnamed Publishing House for Men Who Don’t Write Good, so that AVFM’s Possibly Still Unnamed Publishing House for Men Who Don’t Write Good can put its name (which may be changed) on their ebooks – and take a share of the profits, if any, hopefully without introducing too many formatting errors in the process.

No, I can’t see how this could possibly go wrong.

Kudos, Paul!

Or she told a coworker, who told him to stop being such a jackass. They all turned on him, which is why Schrodinger’s Rapist must be defeated! Because you can defeat a blog post. That’s definitely a thing that can happen and that you should devote your life to.

The only way to defeat Schrödinger’s Rapist is to open that box and replace him with a cat.

I work in an office with only 7 people in it (this is actually a high number for us, the old norm was 5), and while I don’t talk to everyone every day, even with the people I don’t like I talk to them once a week or so. Six conversations in six months? I’m guessing six times he cornered her into an awkwardly flirty conversation over six months, despite her best efforts to avoid him.

I’m guessing he was most often referred to by his coworkers in the context of “don’t go in the break room right now, he’s there”.

@Bina: But then make sure to never open the box again, or else you’ll get a bloody mad cat in your face.

No one can ever open the box. Mark it with a UN-approved trefoil that means “Danger! Bloody Mad Cat Inside!” and hide it in a hole under a mountain.

In thousands of years, some archaeologists will find it, conclude the symbol is only of religious significance, and unleash hell on earth.

I worked in a company that averaged about 25 people. There were folks there that I would go a month or more without interacting with them. That’s because I didn’t like them, and went out of my way to avoid them.

In my much-smaller 8-person department? I had to talk to those people pretty much every day without fail, even the one I loathed, because that’s how small groups work.

A lot of what creeper-troll had to say about this harassment incident is just frankly contradictory, and the stuff that isn’t is so redacted it’s obvious there is more to the story than what is being told.

Well, what’s more likely? That trolly ends up in an office with four extremely petty people, managing to make friends with a couple, then barely speaks to one woman at all which causes her to cry harassment (which of course the friends believe)? Or that maybe trolly is just slightly understating his involvement, something that practically every person who’s done a bad thing in the world does?

The Cult of the Bloody Mad Cat?
I’m sure there’s a story in that.
I’d so love to write it,
But how to incite it?
Perhaps if I sat and I sat…

But it has to be Greebo.

… Actually Greebo-after-spending-two-irritating-minutes-in-a-box is just what I’d like to have handy for creepers.

(I mean, it’d be no good having Maru-in-a-box. Because he’d just try to squish more of himself into it.)

OTOH, Maru in a box would confuse the shit out of the misters, because he’s so calm and happy and yet he is a male cat. How can this be? Are lady cats not misandering properly?

kittehserf - MOD

Ah, but he’s a neutered male cat, so there’s your misandry right there!

My lady cat misanders very well. She steals my dude cat’s food and once knocked his dish off the shelf and broke it. Plus Dracarys sits in my lap. This angers Darrow. He never sits in my lap but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t own it. She doesn’t even ask permission to make use of his human’s

I have two neutered boy kitties, and I always say one of them is a sweetie and the other is…less sweet to anyone but His Person, but then I observed that both of ’em let various small girls pick them up and carry them around without any hissing or clawing. Elmo will just follow them around until they do it.

My other boy, though, I’m pretty sure believes he is my husband. He gets very possessive when Mr. Farts is around, and his preferred sleeping spot is my face.

Which one of them is the alpha?

Bina

I’ve had two neutered boy kitties myself. Both of them absolute suckers for any and all attention they got. Neither one cared that he’d been misandered, because they got spoiled in every other respect, and petted by everyone who saw them. Paulie & Co. would have a conniption.

ceebarks, that is the best html fail (or html treachery, more like) EVER. It’s even more spectacular than my massive blockquote ribbon fail.

Also I love that pic.

It really is spectacular html failage! I have only the foggiest idea what I managed to do there but will now have more gin fizz to console myself. My poor husband squeezed like a bajillion limes to make a pitcher’s worth of mix for this drink and it is DELICIOUS, and probably highly misandric.

talking about neutered, my kitty is in heat right now and she’s currently howling at me. She’s very insistent in the best of times. On the other hand, she has been extremelyyyyyyy cuddly so it’s hard to stay annoyed. But, I am looking forward to this not happening after her surgery, mostly because I worry about her annoying my roommates.

ceebarks, if Mr ceebarks had to squeeze the fruit, it must be very misandric. And then there’s the fact that you’re drinking the results of his manly man labour … oh it’s all too much!

cupisnique, I don’t envy you or your kitty going through that! Just as long as she doesn’t get outside, that’s the main thing.

Back in the 70s, my first kitty went into heat before she was due for her op. Oh the timing … it was when my aunt the nun was visiting. She asked for years afterward if kitty was well now. 😀

I actually know what happened – you tried to embed the Google Image preview instead of the picture itself. That always results in some… Interesting… Things. =P
