Authorial Positioning: Leslie R. Waggoner III
Leslie R. Waggoner III writes in the lineage of mythopoeic architects—those rare authors who do not merely build worlds, but excavate sacred cosmologies from beneath the surface of narrative. Eschewing the market’s thirst for streamlined prose and algorithmic accessibility, Waggoner’s work reverberates with the unapologetic density of a personal mythology—one shaped by cosmic balance, ancient linguistics, and the echoing struggle between Order and Surge. His novels and upcoming in-world documents—A Study of the Tubata Tablet, Perspectives Askance, Perspectives Askew, and the Chronicles of the Dance Trilogy—embrace a fiction that reads like discovered scripture rather than engineered story. With a voice honed through rhythm, recursion, and metafictional layering, Waggoner stands among those who write not for the market, but for the myth.
He invites his readers not to consume, but to interpret—to become translators, chroniclers, and witnesses within a living mythos that dares to resist erosion by editorial consensus.
