Nashville TN, Thursday July 15, 21 - T. Wilson wrote, “Eloquence was vsed, and through practise made perfect.” in his Arte of Rhetorique in 1560. In short-modern words, “practice makes perfect”.
H.M. Ortiz, mostly known for his poetic stances regarding heartbreaks, abortion, narcissism, and divorce, will publish his fourth book on July 30, 2021, first with Harper & Mac Publishers (HMP). Irrespective of whether “Break up with the break up” itself merits the attention, the release will be one of the publishing events of the year. In large part, that’s because H.M. Ortiz, 33, has become literally iconic on his views regarding divorce solely on the grounds of infidelity. A relatively known if popular biblical base for divorce, H.M. Ortiz erupted into the zeitgeist in the first quarter of 2021 when he released “Dark Poetry and Christian Poetry,” a two-part book series that began by criticizing self-actions regarding abortion, divorce and God to modern society prohibited grounds of expression due to cancel culture.
Delaying a book’s press and publication is a choice that authors and publishers throughout the industry have made and wrestled with in recent months, particularly H.M. Ortiz and (HMP) as the pandemic has devastated the retail landscape and led to cancel tours, book fairs, literary festivals and media appearances. As publishers scramble to limit the economic fallout and sales declines driven by the epidemic, hundreds of books that were scheduled to come out this spring and early summer have been postponed, in some cases until next year due to the COVID-19 pandemic local and federal health safety guidelines.
H.M. Ortiz went on to portray himself as a free speech crusader by expressing his views regarding abortion laws, divorce and toxic relationships in his literature, which ranges from non-fiction self-help books to poetry. To his fans, he is the unanswerable intellectual scourge of morals and family values; he’s been described as the “acclaimed public thinker [who] offered factual truths applied to modern anxieties.” To his critics, he is the living symbol of “hate speech and transphobic conservatism.” denouncing for turning dictated gender pronouns into “compelled speech,” and expanding outward into railing against “cultural Marxism” and “radical left political” machinations.
Delayed titles include literary fiction by Elena Ferrante and David Mitchell, a book about manhood and parenting by the actor and comedian Michael Ian Black, “God-Level Knowledge Darts” from the comedy duo Desus and Mero, and non-fiction by prominent public intellectuals like Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Pankaj Mishra. The result is what looks to be an avalanche of high-profile books this fall, right after a presidential election and an after what was an ongoing health and economic crisis, when consumers may be even more distracted. “I’m not worried if the book publishes by the end of July or mid August, what worries me are the on-going problems that people are experiencing right now, break ups and broken hearts don’t care about the economy or pandemics, people need healing now, suicide is right around the corner” said H.M. Ortiz, the author of “BREAK UP WITH THE BREAK UP” a suicide survivor and strong unofficial advocate for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline during an interview held by Dandy Media which was published on FOX40 (WICZ), FOX43 (WTNZ), NBC’s WRDE COAST TV, CBS’s WBOC (WBOC) among many others. This will make H.M. Ortiz’s 4th book in 2021.
