Good Trouble by Joe Biel

In 1996, everything about Joe Biel's life seemed like a mistake. He was 18, he got drunk every day and he had mystery health problems and weird social ticks. All his friends were just as bad, or worse. To escape his nihilistic, apocalyptic worldview he started assembling zines and bringing them to underground punk shows. Eventually, this became Microcosm publishing. Finally diagnosed with Asperger's, Joe's life began to fall into place. This is the story of how he turned a litany mistakes and wrong turns into a happy, fulfilled life and a thriving publishing business.

Joe Biel is a self-made publisher and filmmaker who leans on punk rock for his inspiration, methods, and beginnings. He is the co-founder of the Portland Zine Symposium and the founder/manager of Microcosm Publications. He has been featured in Time Magazine, Publisher's Weekly, Utne Reader, Portland Mercury, Oregonian, Broken Pencil, Readymade, Punk Planet, Profane Existence, Spectator (Japan), G33K (Korea), and Maximum Rocknroll with his films on the Dinner and Bikes program. He is the author of several books, including Good Trouble: Creating a Successful Life and Business on the Spectrum, Manspressions: Interpreting Men's Conduct, The CIA Makes Science Fiction Unexciting, Beyond the Music, Bamboozled, Bipedal, By Pedal, and others. He is the filmmaker of the Groundswell film series including the documentaries Aftermass: Biking in a Post-Critical Mass Portland, If It Ain't Cheap, It Ain't Punk, Of Dice & Men, $100 & A T-Shirt.

Biel was not trained in education, according to the Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy. Joebiel.net is where you may find his work.
