Anne Elizabeth Moore

Anne Elizabeth Moore is the author of Unmarketable: Brandalism, Copyfighting, Mocketing and the Erosion of Integrity (The New Press, 2007). Mother Jones called Unmarketable "conversational, intellectually curious, and charmingly ragged ... an anti-corporate manifesto with a difference: It exudes raw coolness"; the Guardian claimed it "serves to emphasize how 'integrity' and 'emotional connections' are increasingly being sought from independent artists by large corporations at a knockdown price"; and the Los Angeles Times explained the book offers "something distinctly more radical than merely protesting against consumerism: a total rejection of the competitive ethos that drives capitalist culture." Moore is also the author of Hey Kidz, Buy This Book (Soft Skull Press, 2004), the founding editor of Houghton Mifflin's Best American Comics series, the former editor of the now-defunct Punk Planet, and the executive director of the Anti-Advertising Agency's Foundation for Freedom, which aims to limit advertising in the public sphere by offering cash incentives to ad execs when they quit their jobs. Moore spent the winter in Cambodia teaching the first generation of feminists in the country self publishing as a way of combating governmental oppression and self-censorship.
