NB: For those who are interested/concerned, I ended up deciding against the influential-editor-publication strategy discussed in the intro. Slightly long story, but in the end I just didn’t have the stomach for it. And don’t you start lecturing me about Chubby Checker. He did The Twist. The Beatles did Twist and Shout. So there.
