Dear Reader:
There are cultures and subcultures in this world that are shrouded in mystery and stereotype. Some of the people who comprise these cultures have a dualistic nature and live in two diametrically opposed worlds, so to speak. Scholar W.E.B. Dubois, in his famed essay, calls these two worlds, “the world inside the veil,” (the urban world) and “the world outside the veil”. While Macavelli Press certainly gives voice to those writers from the world inside the veil, it also acknowledges that the world today extends beyond these two realms into a global consciousness, and, therefore, proposes to expand the minds of the readers by introducing literary works of writers from all walks of life.
Accordingly, it will attempt to bridge the perceptive gap between these sometimes antithetical worlds, its inhabitants and their ideas, philosophies and opinions. With this said, Macavelli Books are for those sincerely interested in learning about various world cultures and subcultures and about the conception of their respective ideologies. The novels reflect pride in being among the first to explore these realms in the U.S. and abroad.
Macavelli is a platform for writers who are inhabitants of various distinct world cultures and subcultures to share their thoughts and approaches to life with the common people, producing a forum that creates awareness and enhances solidarity. Macavelli educates peoples across the globe about what is going on in the world around them. In particular, it lifts the veil off of the frequently underrepresented urban culture, exposing it, unabashedly, to the rest of the world. The books are for parents, grandparents, educators, ministers, counselors and others outside of this unique world subculture that interact with urban peoples and sincerely want to know more. Macavelli’s editorial team carefully chooses each novel as they strive to offer the reader diverse insight and understanding. Macavelli Press publishes works that break barriers, introduce new perspectives, and expand on existing ones. Reader input helps shape the press and supports its commitment to serving the needs of its audience.
Send me an email at publishers@macavelli.com to express yourself about the kinds of stories, novels, anthologies that interest you, the ones you want to read about. Macavelli Press works to bring those novels, books, and anthologies to readers. The editorial pledge is to listen to readers.
With this said, Macavelli Press presents its first two novels, From A Hard Rock to a Gem: A Memoir of a Lost Soul, and I’ll Cry Tomorrow. Enjoy.
Welcome to Macavelli Press, bringing urban culture to the world and the world to urban culture.
