BOOK CLUB

If your book club has read Leverage (unlikely) and would like to speak to the maniac behind the madness (even less likely), please send a request to contact@amrangowani.com.

I kindly ask that your club include at least five members and everyone reads—or listens to—the novel in advance. With those stipulations in mind, I'll happily address your group via video or teleconference for up to 45 minutes. Looking forward to talking Leverage!

BLURB REQUESTS

Ah, blurbs. Those pithy little paragraphs induce much agita in the requester, require a significant amount of unpaid labor from the requested, and are of questionable commercial value to the people who matter most: readers.

Alas, they're also great networking tools and can do wonders for the artistic ego. If you're a novelist and you'd like for me to read your work and possibly provide a blurb, I'd be happy to oblige as long as the following criteria are met:

• Your novel features satirical or humorous elements and/or your work interrogates contemporary culture, capitalism, or politics (e.g., if your novel's funny and/or timely I'll happily take a look)
• Your novel has fewer than 100,000 words
• Your target readership is aged 16 and older
• You have less than four blurbs already—trust me, four is plenty!
• You're not already famous

Sardonic constraints aside, I sincerely enjoy meeting and supporting other authors and I strongly believe in the "pay it forward" principle. If you think I can help your cause, feel free to send your blurb request to contact@amrangowani.com.

RANDOM INQUIRIES

If you have general questions about writing and/or publishing, would like to shower me with praise or bludgeon me with criticism, or wish to pitch me an online marketing scam (or worse), feel free to shoot me an email at contact@amrangowani.com.

SOCIAL MEDIA

I've experimented with multiple social media platforms and I'm pleased to report I hate them all. Nonetheless, while I try to limit the amount of time I waste on the interwebs, I maintain verified accounts on Instagram, LinkedIn, and Bluesky. Looking forward to connecting in those online hellscapes.
