  Hi Alan

 Have you considered a non-academic route? Without an affiliation the
 academic options available will be very limited. There are imprints that
 will handle theoretical texts which do not function within academe, or
 require that their authors have such affiliations. Journals like Art+Text
 use to work like this and I believe that Semiotexte is still publishing such
 titles, including people like Rainer Ganahl and Heiner Muller, both of whom
 make work that touches on elements of what you do. In the UK we have
 publishers like Black Dog (Bob and Roberta Smith, David Cotterell, Suzanne
 Treister) and ArtWords (Charlie Gere, Michael Corris, myself). I am sure
 there are other options as well.

 Regards

 Simon

 have a text out with Fort-Da but there's been no money for an ISBN number,

 that's unadvertised; WVU might do something in the future with my texts on
 writing, if a series gets going, but that's speculative. The texts I've
 been
 writing have been on two main themes, and have been collected as such - one
 on
 the phenomenology of the analog and digital and their intertwining; and one
 on
 the phenomenology of the real/virtual and their intertwining. The latter
 uses
 Second Life as a model; the former is more purely theoretical. Neither need

 illustration.

 I feel ridiculous sending out a public letter like this, but I'm at wit's
 end -
 my writing might not be worth collecting for that matter, and I have no
 academic affiliation, so it's difficult to get anyone interested. Any help
 would be greatly appreciated. Please write me backchannel or ignore this,
 and
 thanks for reading. (I know I write overmuch, but the mss have always been
 edited. Salt brought out a book of literary writing in 2004, and that was
 the
 last of it.)
