Why Disobedience Without the Jail Time Matters Now

Every book begins with a question. For me, the question was simple but stubborn: what happens when ordinary people decide not to wait for permission anymore?

That seed grew into Disobedience Without the Jail Time, a book about strategies, resilience, and creativity in the face of systems that count on our silence. It’s not a lecture and it’s not a manifesto. It’s a toolkit built from lived experience, designed for readers who feel the world shifting and want practical ways to shift with it.

Why share this here, on Dillinger Publishing’s blog? Because publishing isn’t just printing words, it’s building community. Many of you who’ve found your way here already understand that storytelling, research, and resistance all braid together. My role as Editor is to give that braid shape, so when you hold this book, you’re not just holding ideas…you’re holding a map of possibilities.

Pre-orders are now open, and if you’ve already signed up through our campaign list, thank you. You’ll be the first to hear about updates, excerpts, and bonus materials we’ll release along the way.

This isn’t just the launch of a book. It’s an invitation. If you’ve ever wondered whether your voice matters, or whether small acts add up, I promise you’ll find answers here worth carrying.

Talk soon!
