Apple and Spotify have removed podcasts or other materials from the Alex Jones channel as conspiracy theories or hate speech, Yahoo story. Trump had actually promoted Alex Jones as real media in his 2016 campaign. Will Amazon follow suit? Later Monday it was reported that YouTube and Facebook had removed it. Blacklisting is contagious.

Outwrite 2018 book fair in Washington DC
I attended some sessions this weekend at Outwrite 2018 for
LGBTQ authors and writers in Washington DC.
The session on “How to Pitch Your Book” offers this
worksheet
It was authored by Marcos L. Martinez from Georgetown University.
There were examples of books published by Stillhouse Press
in Fairfax, VA. One of the books was “Helen on 86th
Street and Other Stories” by Wendi Kaufman.
There are also three small books of poetry by Bryan Borland,
including “Tourist” and “DIG”.
On Saturday I attended a session on “WorldBuilding” in
fiction (which applies especially to period stories and sci-fi or horror).
.
Under public pressure, Amazon has removed Nazi and white-supremacy
rated products (visible symbols). It is
not clear if books are affected (a children’s book by George Lincoln Rockwell
was said to have been removed).
