John Evan Garvey incarna l'editore artigianale, profondamente coinvolto in ogni aspetto della creazione di un libro. Il suo processo fonde artisticamente le arti visive con la scrittura creativa e la tecnologia dei social media, dalla meticolosa ricerca e impaginazione al design della copertina e ai materiali promozionali. Garvey considera ogni libro come una tela o una scultura unica, intrisa dell'anima di un artigiano che spesso manca nell'editoria aziendale tradizionale. Questo approccio olistico mira a creare una singolare entità virtuale che i metodi tradizionali non possono replicare. Profondamente influenzato dal suo viaggio personale di allontanamento dalla fede e dalla conseguente separazione dalla famiglia, la scrittura di Garvey esplora frequentemente la natura della credenza e il complesso terreno della sua assenza, spinto dal desiderio di condividere ciò che ha imparato e di approfondire i misteri della fisica delle particelle e del cosmo.
