Keith LLC Press
I genuinely know absolutely nobody at this Press. I mean that as the sincerest form of praise. I enjoy meeting new people, and seeing the same old ones can get a tad tiring. This feels like a gold mine to me, learning about all these new writers that were nowhere in my daily rotation. Clearly, everyone here at Beach Sloth has been lacking, has been slacking. Despite the fondness for sloths, we are a hearty, hard-working crew of the greatest weirdos the world wide web has ever seen. For literal years, well over a decade at this point, Beach Sloth has been on the cutting edge of literature, or at least we thought so. We must have let this one slip through the cracks, and for that, we offer our devoted fanbase the sincerest of apologies. It is a new year, and we need to do better than we did in 2025.
The website design feels minimal. I appreciate personalization. You can even see the face of Keith, the deity that adorns the welcome page. Online life should not revolve around a handful of websites, and the fact that it does feels deeply disappointing. Pioneers on the digital path from years ago would be saddened by the corporatization of the space we occupy. They would ask who allowed this, and why it is allowed to continue. On a personal level, I try to support these other spaces, which people may not often visit. I recall that when I first started writing online, there was significantly more accessibility and less gatekeeping. Levels of privacy are essential, yet they do create a very sterile environment. Fortunately, Keith LLC Press proves to be one of those unexplored regions, at least for me.
Besides the dozens of previously unknown (to me) writers, there’s a whole shop. This is what I live for – seeing the physical artifacts of the books; physicality matters. I dislike the distance that an eBook or PDF has. We are already separate enough people; we do not need any more encouragement to be further divided, to read in our corners of various universes.
Everything about the site feels extremely deliberate. These were good aesthetic choices. Drained of color, bare-bones, sketched, the art that rests within the many links feels genuinely refreshing. I appreciate the idea of simply falling further down the rabbit hole and am grateful to Keith LLC Press for providing a window to those underserved voices, those whose work has been waiting for me and for you.
