What does it take to become a Hugo and Stoker Award-nominated editor and publisher? Follow Jason Sizemore’s unconventional professional path as it winds through a tiny, overheated Baptist church deep within the coal fields of Appalachia, Kentucky, past a busted printer and a self-serving boss that triggered an early mid-life crisis and the epiphany that he should open a magazine spreading the gospel of science fiction to the masses, all the way to WorldCon 2012 and his first Hugo Awards ceremony.
In this collection of semi-true and sometimes humorous essays, Jason exposes the parties, people, and triumphs that shaped him into the Apex Overlord. He also lays bare the hardships and failures that have threatened to take it all away. Meet Thong Girl, heed the warning about the ham, receive rest stop bathroom wisdom, and visit an emergency room straight out of a horror movie in this extraordinary account of life as a publisher and editor.
With rebuttal essays from Maurice Broaddus, Monica Valentinelli, Lesley Conner, and more, For Exposure tells Jason’s story with insight from key players along his road to success. It is a comprehensive and frank look at what Apex and the genre publishing business is about. Take a shot with the publisher, dance the night away, and become a legend. And do it all For Exposure.

Store description
Black Sun Compass is a home based operation located in Wilson, NC. (The name holds sentimental value.) The sole proprietor "Max" is nostalgic for bodies in which Characters are enshrouded, thus his fascination with Stories in all shapes and forms. As books are an embodiment of Stories it would explain why his library is overflowing with volumes that need new homes. With a collection of 20+ years and growing, there are many things that will not even be listed so if there is something in particular you are looking for just "Ask The Seller". ("Max" also enjoys the hunt so if he does not have it in the collection he'll be happy to help you find it.)…
