Frequently Asked Questions
To save you
and, more importantly, us time and already limited amounts of ephemeral
energy, please read the
following
questions and answers about Jaded Ibis Productions policies and procedures
before emailing us feedback.
What
is Jaded Ibis Productions?
Jaded Ibis Productions is a Limited Liability Company headquartered in Seattle, Washington. We specialize in fiction, poetry,hybrid writing,visual art, video, audio,
music, and consaumer products. Jaded Ibis Press is the publishing arm.
How
did you come up with your name?
We
were originally Ibis Productions. An ibis, as you probably do not
know, is a bird. A scarlet ibis is a red bird. "The
Scarlet Ibis" is a short story by James Hurst, published in
1960. We read the story in fourth grade and experienced an epiphany
regarding
the difference between literature and pap (also known as
"genre fiction.") Believing literary fiction to be the
most exalted of the fictive forms, we set out to write and publish
it. We discovered
the publishing industry and 90% of America is interested not in
literature but money, ergo: pap. Oh. We became jaded. You deduce
the rest.

are your people?
