Becoming Part of the EAP Community.

Join the conversation.

In EAP: The Magazine, all sorts of writing comes under the heading of what we here call “very EAP.”  We’ve published film scripts, a libretto, poems, short stories, and analyses of everything from the Museum of Jurassic Technology, to Boris Pasternak’s love of the Everyday, to Bugs Bunny as a model for foreign policy.  We’ve published a paean to the Dodo, a poem of outrage about the betrayal of a revolution, and the story of a snotty little kid who falls through a rabbit hole and fights a Gnome Army to change the world.

And more.

If you’ve got something to say that is clear, courteous, and creative, then we really would love to hear from you. Email  Mike for anything relating to Popular Culture, email Marissa for Poems, and email Tod for Everything Else.

We’re an eccentric bunch, and an eclectic bunch, but we’re also very welcoming and very curious about whatever you have to say. And you certainly don’t have to have the premise of a book in mind before joining the conversation (another of our favorite sayings: “The perfect is the enemy of the good”). If there’s something you’re passionate about, try it out on us. Write an essay. A critique. A poem. A fanciful vision of whatever far off world it is that you daydream about. The plan is simply that the best and most inquiring of the pieces submitted to the quarterly magazine will be offered the opportunity to be worked on to eventually form books that will be published by EAP.

(One caveat, though—and a very important one, too. If your secret wish is to become rich and famous, and be able to look down on others less fortunate than you through the magic of your own writing, we are the wrong place for you. What we’re looking for is people who are more interested in expressing something they have to say about who they are, why the world is the way it is, and what is possible to be done to make both of those better. Really. That’s who we’re looking for. You’re not going to get rich and famous with EAP. We think people trying to get rich and famous is a crummy way to run a culture, prizing mindless competition over a real desire to understand reality. Just so you know.)

In The News.

That cult classic pirate/sci fi mash up GREENBEARD, by Richard James Bentley, is now a rollicking audiobook, available from Audible.com. Narrated and acted by Colby Elliott of Last Word Audio, you’ll be overwhelmed by the riches and hilarity within.

“Captain Sylvestre de Greybagges is your typical seventeenth-century Cambridge-educated lawyer turned Caribbean pirate, as comfortable debating the virtues of William Shakespeare, Isaac Newton, and compound interest as he is wielding a cutlass, needling archrival Henry Morgan, and parsing rum-soaked gossip for his next target. When a pepper monger’s loose tongue lets out a rumor about a fleet loaded with silver, the Captain sets sail only to find himself in a close encounter of a very different kind.

After escaping with his sanity barely intact and his beard transformed an alarming bright green, Greybagges rallies The Ark de Triomphe crew for a revenge-fueled, thrill-a-minute adventure to the ends of the earth and beyond.

This frolicsome tale of skullduggery, jiggery-pokery, and chicanery upon Ye High Seas is brimming with hilarious puns, masterful historical allusions, and nonstop literary hijinks. Including sly references to Thomas Pynchon, Treasure Island, 1940s cinema, and notable historical figures, this mélange of delights will captivate readers with its rollicking adventure, rich descriptions of food and fashion, and learned asides into scientific, philosophical, and colonial history.”

THE SUPERGIRLS is back, revised and updated!

Newport Public Library hosted a three part Zoom series on Visionary Fiction, led by Tod.  

And we love them for it, too.

The first discussion was a lively blast. You can watch it here. The second, Looking Back to Look Forward can be seen here.

The third was the best of all. Visions of the Future, with a cast of characters including poets, audiobook artists, historians, Starhawk, and Mary Shelley. Among others. Link is here.

SNOTTY SAVES THE DAY is now an audiobook, narrated by Last Word Audio’s mellifluous Colby Elliott. It launched May 10th, but for a limited time, you can listen for free with an Audible trial membership. So what are you waiting for? Start listening to the wonders of how Arcadia was born from the worst section of the worst neighborhood in the worst empire of all the worlds since the universe began.

If you love audio books, don’t miss the new release of REPORT TO MEGALOPOLIS, by Tod Davies, narrated by Colby Elliott of Last Word Audio. The tortured Aspern Grayling tries to rise above the truth of his own story, fighting with reality every step of the way, and Colby’s voice is the perfect match for our modern day Dr. Frankenstein.

Tod on the Importance of Visionary Fiction

Check out this video of “Beyond Utopia: The Importance of Fantasy,” Tod’s recent talk at the tenth World-Ecology Research Network Conference, June 2019, in San Francisco. She covers everything from Wind in the Willows to the work of Kim Stanley Robinson, with a look at The History of Arcadia along the way. As usual, she’s going on about how visionary fiction has an important place in the formation of a world we want and need to have.
