What does it take to become a Hugo and Stoker Award-nominated editor and publisher? Follow Jason Sizemore’s unconventional professional path as it winds through a tiny, overheated Baptist church deep within the coal fields of Appalachia, Kentucky, past a busted printer and a self-serving boss that triggered an early mid-life crisis and the epiphany that he should open a magazine spreading the gospel of science fiction to the masses, all the way to WorldCon 2012 and his first Hugo Awards ceremony. In this collection of semi-true and sometimes humorous essays, Jason exposes the parties, people, and triumphs that shaped him into the Apex Overlord. He also lays bare the hardships and failures that have threatened to take it all away. Meet Thong Girl, heed the warning about the ham, receive rest stop bathroom wisdom, and visit an emergency room straight out of a horror movie in this extraordinary account of life as a publisher and editor. With rebuttal essays from Maurice Broaddus, Monica Valentinelli, Lesley Conner, and more, For Exposure tells Jason’s story with insight from key players along his road to success. It is a comprehensive and frank look at what Apex and the genre publishing business is about. Take a shot with the publisher, dance the night away, and become a legend. And do it all For Exposure.

Illuminating and Entertaining By Mark Gunnells Just finished reading Jason Sizemore's For Exposure, a damn entertaining and engaging memoir of sorts that details the journey Sizemore underwent to follow his dream, founding Apex Publications and building it into the well-regarded business it is today.The book is written in an affable style that makes you feel you're really getting to know Sizemore, and the man you are getting to know is funny, charming, self-deprecating, and passionate about what he does.The tales of his various convention experiences are the most colorful, and he can make horrible experiences such as food poisoning and kidney stones into hilarious anecdotes.The book is also peppered with "rebuttals" from various folks involved in the stories, giving their own versions of the events Sizemore describes. This is an ingenious addition.What also comes through clearly in Sizemore's writing is his deep love, respect, and appreciation for every person that has helped him along the way.The writing is strong, and I definitely recommend this book to all genre fans. It certainly increased my appreciation for Sizemore and Apex.

Great story of perseverance,with delightful anecdotes of publishing and the writers who contribute to the SF & Horror genres By Frank Errington Review copyFor the record, I read fiction, primarily horror. I'm not one for biographies or historical novels , so when the opportunity arose to read For Exposure, I hesitated, but just for a moment. I respect and admire what Jason Sizemore has been able to accomplish at Apex Publications and thought it might me interesting to see how he got there.At the beginning of For Exposure it was like Jason was channeling the legendary Jean Sheppard, you know, the man responsible for "A Christmas Story." I nearly expected Jason to tell us that all he ever wanted for Christmas was a Red Ryder BB Gun.As an adult, Jason, like many of us, felt stuck in a dead end job. Unlike many of us, he did something about that and followed his passion and so Apex Science Fiction and Horror Digest was born. What follows are numerous stories of trips to cons and ongoing efforts to grow a following for his new endeavor.It's a great story of perseverance filled with delightful anecdotes of the publishing business and the writers who contribute to the Science Fiction and Horror genres. Jason even gives several of those he writes about in the book a chance to tell their side of the story.All told, For Exposure: The Life and Times of a Small Press Publisher, is great for anyone who might like to see what goes into creating a successful small press, or just enjoys hearing great con stories, and believe me there are a few of those between these pages. Here's to the next ten years, Jason.Available now in both Trade Paperback and Hardcover, and available soon as an e-book, from Apex Publications.Recommended.

The book details the beginning of Apex Publications, its journey as a magazine and its growth into books, and ends with the open ended possibility of what great results await Apex in the future. This book is highly captivating and entertaining and was exceedingly difficult to put down. The many different stories that make up this narrative are exciting, unbelievable, inspiring, and cool (depending on the story). The stories are also told in such a way that makes it easy to see the scene unfolding before your eyes as you read. I also loved how some of the people that Sizemore mentioned in the book were able to respond to the stories Sizemore shared with their own input. This was a really unique aspect that created dimension for the book and I enjoyed reading what these people had to say in response to Sizemore's stories and praises. All in all, this was a fantastic read and I strongly recommend it to anyone who is interested in any and everything Apex, the writing industry, the editing industry, people who enjoy a great story that is told well, people who like short stories, people who like to laugh, and people who like to be inspired. Sizemore opens the door and lets you into his world in a very honest and open way. I strongly recommend this book and can't wait to see what the future has in store for Apex.
