My good friend Alan Rifkin is on the cover of District weekly mag for his recent effort to share his novel -Alt. Country- with the world. Its about a country rocker and his fringed musical fame and the intricacies of his everyday relationships. With a number of rejection letters from publishers saying they just "cant sell love stories to men" he decided to publish his novel online for free. Along the way he also includes musical soundtracks by group We Five and cover art by me. I wanted to share this with all of you because I think the collaboration that grew out of the rejection from mainstream outlets makes failure seem more fun.
Heres the link to the District article
