Book Publishing and Editing
In 1998, Wille co-founded (with Steve Nalepa, Nick Rubenstein, and Hedi El Kholti) Dilettante Press, a publishing house with a focus on outsider, visionary, and vernacular art and photography. Wille conceptualized and co-edited (with El Kholti) the book Starstruck: Photographs from a Fan by amateur photographer Gary Lee Boas, which is featured in Martin Parr’s History of Photography II as one of the 200 most important photography books of the last 30 years.
In 2005, Wille and Adam Parfrey of Feral House founded Process Media, with an emphasis on non-fiction books that explore American subcultures and document groundbreaking musicians such as Roky Erickson and the 13th Floor Elevators, John Sinclair and MC5, Ya Ho Wa 13 and Father Yod, and Moondog. Process has also created a "Self-Reliance Series" of illustrated guide books that promote sustainable and self-sufficient living.

Famous quotes containing the words book, publishing and/or editing:
“The machine invades me all day.”
—Sharon Atkins, U.S. receptionist. As quoted in Working, book 2, by Studs Terkel (1973)
“While you continue to grow fatter and richer publishing your nauseating confectionery, I shall become a mole, digging here, rooting there, stirring up the whole rotten mess where life is hard, raw and ugly.”
—Norman Reilly Raine (1895–1971)
“In this century the writer has carried on a conversation with madness. We might almost say of the twentieth-century writer that he aspires to madness. Some have made it, of course, and they hold special places in our regard. To a writer, madness is a final distillation of self, a final editing down. It’s the drowning out of false voices.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
