Dear Seamas Cain,


I’m writing with hopes you’ll be willing to emoji-blurb Davis Schneiderman
<http://www.davisschneiderman.com/>’s debut short-story collection—*there
is no appropriate #emoji
<https://www.dropbox.com/s/twkyfciv0wxxogj/There%20is%20no%20appropriate%20%23emoji%20-APRIL%202019.docx?dl=0>*
 (Mad Hat Press <https://madhat-press.com/>, Fall 2019). The collection
features stories by Schneiderman and collaborations with Lance Olsen
<http://www.lanceolsen.com/>, Tim Guthrie <http://www.timguthrie.com/>, Stacey
Levine <http://www.staceylevine.com/>, Cris Mazza, and others.



Oscillating between stories and text and images from *The Museum of
Alternative History* <http://www.museumofalternativehistory.com/>,* #emoji
<https://www.dropbox.com/s/twkyfciv0wxxogj/There%20is%20no%20appropriate%20%23emoji%20-APRIL%202019.docx?dl=0>*
is
set “everywhere”: from the Greek island of Lemnos to a hovering Zeppelin to
a suburban street on the brink of solar catastrophe. *#emoji
<https://www.dropbox.com/s/twkyfciv0wxxogj/There%20is%20no%20appropriate%20%23emoji%20-APRIL%202019.docx?dl=0>*
is
a wide-eyed view of life in the death throes of the
Anthropocene—Schneiderman at his most prescient, predicting an endless
epoch of nothing-but-the-same.

What’s an emoji-blurb? Here are two examples:



“📚🔥🔥🔥🔓🔑🔮⚠💓💓😂😂😂👿👿👿”

            —David Shields, author of *Nobody Hates Trump More Than* *Trump*
 and *The Trouble with Men*



“*There is no appropriate *#😋 is a compelling 📖 overflowing with 😲 ideas,
captivating 👩👨, and 🌌 scenarios that will make you 😀 and 👀 and keep
you on your 👣.”

—Naiomi Joy Madera, middle-schooler



Your blurb will join a large number of others, forming an “image-wall” of
emoji-rich text to distort and reposition the practice of the blurb.



We’d need your blurb no later than June 15, 2019.



Here’s the link to the manuscript: *there is no appropriate #emoji

Thanks for considering it.



Best,



John
