Editor Dr. Bernard Schweizer Talks Heresy Press

from The Calcopia Podcast · host Calcopia Productions

Joining our own book nerd Nate Evans on this literary episode is the esteemed Dr. Bernard Schweizer, writer, editor, and Professor Emeritus of English at Long Island University, as well as founder of Heresy Press, an imprint dedicated to “enduring quality standards, i.e. literary merit, originality, style, relevance, courage, humor, and intellectual rigor”, celebrating its third anniversary and going stronger than ever. Listen as the two discuss the benefits of partnering with Skyhorse Publishing, the sweeping (and long overdue) changes taking place in the publishing world, the need for intellectual diversity among identity politics, the hyperbole (and hypocrisy) around the “Read Banned Books” campaign, the encroachment of – and backlash to – AI in literature and everywhere else, and so much more. Also, don’t miss two of Heresy Press’ newest releases: Georgette Bennett’s Half-Jew―Full Life and Max Watman’s Tomorrow, the War, both now available.
