Shoutout on the Zero to Well-Read podcast

[Mike Colagrosso]

The Mar 23, 2026 episode of the Zero to Well-Read podcast featured an email that I wrote to them about the Standard Ebooks project!

You can watch what they said here:

or at timestamp 28:01 wherever you get your podcasts.

I wrote in because I thoroughly enjoyed their discussion of Herman Melville’s "Bartleby, the Scrivener." They mentioned is that you can easily download the short story from Project Gutenberg. So I thought I should tell them that Standard Ebooks has a nice copy of "Bartleby, the Scrivener"

as part of an omnibus of Melville's short fiction:

Thanks to everyone who works on the SE project, and I was happy to get the word out!
