The Apoka Collective

WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF APOKA - Michigan's most laid back label/publisher/creator collective. No press. No algorithms. No TikToks. Just homemade art. Made just for the sake of making it.

Predictors of the end of the world and winning lottery numbers. We only accept submissions sent via fax. Although, we don't currently have a fax machine but will update the website once one is obtained.

We saw the crowded music market and thought: "Why not us too?"

Then we saw the crowded publishing market and thought: "Why not us too?"

Currently home to the rock band The Factoid Club, novelist R.W. Alan and storyteller Rip Peterson.

Latest Releases

The Plot Of Your Life

R.W. Alan

Debut Novel from R.W. Alan!
He has won no awards. You won't find him on the New York Time's Best Seller List.
A novel mostly set during our favorite time in our lives - the late nineties!

If we could go back like the protagonist, we would be drinking so much Fruitopia and Surge!

But seriously, this is a novel that deals with themes of love, grief and how both affect our lives even if we don't realize it.

The Plot Of Your Life - Soundtrack

The Factoid Club

Soundtrack to a new novel called The Plot Of Your Life by R.W. Alan.

Which can be found on Amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H4P373ML

The novel is about a man named William Further who is reliving his life and how the ripples of others are pushing his life in different directions. Read about how those ripples affect him and the people he loves.

Check it out. It's only $3.99 or free if you have Kindle Unlimited.

For fans of slice of life novels with a metaphysical twist.

Songs hand-picked by the Factoid Club.

Since the novel uses slightly altered lyrics from the song, The Plot Of Your Life, the band let the author use them with a promise that his next book would be a biography about the band.

So be on the lookout for a book called All Band Biographies Suck: The Story of the Factoid Club.

Though he probably won't do it.

The Adventures of Luke & Sock Puppet Jesus

Rip Peterson

And please welcome the latest addition to The Apoka Collective - storyteller Rip Peterson.

The man, the myth, the first one of us to go bald. But not where you think...

This guy has so many out there ideas that it's going to make his first novella seem tame in comparison.

And that first novella is this story, The Adventures of Luke & Sock Puppet Jesus.

A lonely janitor who lives in a Christian Fascist city wakes up with a reincarnated Jesus attached to his hand as a sock puppet!

It's the story you never knew you wanted or needed. Available right here on The Apoka Collective Website.
