James Webster is Noise Machine, and vice versa. 

Combining 10 years of bookstore experience, and years of in-house marketing work for storied independent publishers like Dalkey Archive and Seven Stories Press, I pride myself on the ability to champion and elevate the work that I think is vital and interesting.

As a writer, my work has appeared in Defector, Literary Hub, Publishers Weekly, The Drift, LARB, and Full Stop, among others.

Noise Machine is a piecemeal PR operation, offering a range of services for writers and publishers—from creative consultation, to social media strategy, copywriting, and more.
