Aaron Courts
Pitfalls, Potholes and Priorities to Publication
Aaron will discuss his debut novel’s journey to publication from its origins to print, some of the lessons learned, and the pitfalls encountered along the way. He will also touch on how he used collaboration and prioritized the literary artifacts to create genuine value for both casual and serious readers, art collectors, and the bottom line.
J. Aaron Courts is a Native Texan and a U.S. Marine. He is also a writer, narrator, poet, and screenwriter. His work has been adapted into audio productions and shortlisted internationally; much of it is available online at The Sword & Pen. His short film, An Afternoon Wake, was an official selection at the Chain Film Festival in New York City, the Dallas International Film Festival-Short Film Competition, and the San Antonio Film Festival. His debut novel, Refusal to Obey: A Novel of the Massacre at Sand Creek, is selected for several national book clubs, has been used as the subject of a lecture series for uniformed servicemen and women, and is being taught at the undergraduate level in the Spring. Aaron established Pane Books, recognized by the state as a proud Texas Veteran-Owned Business, and Refusal to Obey is their debut publication. He lives in the Hill Country and is a member of the San Gabriel Writers’ League.
