Mickey Hess bio ↓  ·  September 9th, 2010  ·  filed under books

Tired of waiting weeks or even MONTHS for back-cover endorsements from recognizable authors? I, Mickey Hess, will blurb any book – that’s right, ANY book – within 24 hours! Just look at these satisfied customers:

Henry Alley’s Precincts of Light: “Precincts of Light is as unsettling as a firing squad. It is also a book about Oregon.” – Mickey Hess

Greg Santos’ The Emperor’s Sofa: “Often my sense of poetry is that it is awfully artless. For real, it’s like hanging out with the elderly. But Greg Santos’ poetry is gripping, and something even more.” – Mickey Hess

Jon Krakauer’s Where Men Win Glory: “A serious, fearless travelogue about a brother and sister who wander through life aimlessly. Eventually, they end up going to see T.S. Eliot’s grave.” – Mickey Hess

Amy Henry’s The Black Sheep Dances: “In a novel, authors engage head-on with American childhood. I found myself on the edge of narrative dexterity reading this massive, provocative book from a strange and ambitious author.” – Mickey Hess

Joey Goebel’s Commonwealth: “American literature has been torn down. Joyce Carol Oates’ birthday is looming. Atrocious writers are limping around the nursing home, waiting to be tossed into the coming darkness. Joey Goebel fearlessly goes out partying.” – Mickey Hess

There are plenty more where those came from, trust me! Authors, contact me today at mickeyhess@gmail.com and LET’S GET BLURBING!!!

    Asking for a book blurb is like pulling teeth. But asking Mickey Hess to write a blurb for my book was like visiting a crooked dentist in Tijuana: quick and dirty. Thank you for helping me find my smile, Mickey Hess.
