“[P. H. Madore] is in iraq. big fucking deal. the guy is probably sitting in a mess hall or office/tent where he does nothing but paperwork all day.” -Jereme Dean

“[P. H. Madore] invested in me. He made me remember what passion for writing felt like.” — xTx

“For all the public back and forth pissing contests we’ve had over the years, one thing I admire the hell out of: [P. H. Madore] pour[s] (it seems) every fucking dime [he has] into literature and its promotion. Seems like, in fact, there were times [he] chose buying indy press books over a place to sleep.” — Dave Clapper

“And I took a look at one of your stories; I saw that it was not my “type” meaning mainstream, not well written and very much the product of a ‘young’ writer.” — Carol Novack, editor of Mad Hatter’s Review, in a letter dated August 30th, 2005.

“yes, sincere, awkward, excited, sweet, silly, self-aggrandizing/flagellating. that’s what i found engaging.”– Joseph Young

“ [P. H. Madore] is nice. ” — Ellen Frances

“At some point I bought Madore surf and turf and maybe he realized I was being genuine when I kept telling him that if anything, I truly admired that he didn’t give up and kept sending us work. I don’t know if being published in the Jargon was an adequate payoff for all those years of struggle, but if it makes him happy…” — Matt DiGangi

“Madore bashing has been going on forever, and it got to the point, at least for me, where we kind of dismiss the behavior as, oh that’s just Madore.” — Darby Larson
