AWP folks: the @malarkeybooks.bsky.social table is gonna be #506. Come say hi, buy some books, meet some authors, grab one of these bookmarks I printed that has instructions on how to sign up for the 2026 book club!

Had such a great time slinging books at Hot Plate Brewery’s 10x10 book fair this weekend. The day’s brew was a Chipotle Nitro Porter and I got to collect a fun horde of books. Plus, my new girlfriend came and was much better at talking about my book than I was. :) @malarkeybooks.bsky.social

It feels like with the world on fire investing in artist and those fostering them is also a great thing to do if you can. If you need recommendations for some great small publishers I'd start with @stanchion.bsky.social and @malarkeybooks.bsky.social and then a million more.

Always fun to see your book on a bookstore shelf, and the neighbors it finds. Just me and Herta hanging out. @malarkeybooks.bsky.social

Happy Birthday, Still Alive! Thank you, all you beautiful souls, who have helped this book find the right nightstand, book bag, and shelf to live in. If you haven’t given the story of V a chance, get it today from @eveninghouse.bsky.social, @powells.bsky.social, or bookshop.org!

One day flash sale. Code FLASHY gets you 40% off anything we have at malarkeybooks.com/store

Ain't no party like a hot tub party. Pithead Chapel published my story Public Relations Professionals Hot Tub Night in their new issue! pitheadchapel.com/public-relat...

I’m on this.

Next year’s flowers are under all this snow.

My high school Alma Mater did a little write up on my book in their newsletter. Nice of them to spread the word. Just saying that my book makes excellent snow day reading if you feel like being in your feelings.

Gay books are under attack and small presses are supporting tgem. There's only one way to keep literature faggy

Anyways, it’s going really well. Why do you ask? Lol.

I’m currently online dating for the first time in forever and I’m seeing many conservative women who list tacos and margaritas as like their favorite thing in the world and I feel like, no, you can’t have those things while your politics are making the lives of the people who brought them here hell.

Forgot to change the price back, so book club is cheap for one more day. Sign up!

Annual shameless self-promotion! This book is for anyone who has ever wanted to leave civilization behind for a spell of personal growth & refreshment by a stream in the mountains far from town. Makes a great gift!

I have zero desire to be rich. My big dream in life is the means to sustain a literary life with my partner, writing, running the bookstore, doing the work ourselves. But books cost money and great indie publishers like @malarkeybooks.bsky.social + Deep Overstock deserve compensation for their work

Been real slow lately but we’re putting a couple books and a tote bag in the mail tomorrow. We can send you books and stuff. We would love actually! Malarkeybooks.com/store

Sis in law made a bunch of tiny books as a way to track what she’s been reading and made me one

Coming at you in May 👀@tortoisebooks.bsky.social

My book came out a year ago today. I tried as best as I could to create a level of depth in the reader’s access to each character’s interior world. If you like that kind of narrative intimacy, give my book a try! @malarkeybooks.bsky.social malarkeybooks.com/store/firstaid

As a debut indie author, I’m really grateful to have found the readers I have with these two books. Would be honored to have them considered alongside 2025’s other great new releases!

So many amazing small presses out there putting out interesting stuff you'll never find anywhere else. Four of my favorites are: @malarkeybooks.bsky.social @shotgunhoney.com @cowboyjamboree.bsky.social Cornerstone Press They've all put out great stuff this year, with more about to be released

It has been a year since the publication of Sleep Decades (@malarkeybooks.bsky.social), my debut short story collection. Throughout the month, I will be sharing a couple of reviews and some notes on the stories. malarkeybooks.com/sleep-decades

Hey, you can now listen to me yap with the wonderful writer @ljabouttown.bsky.social about life’s strange journey, being a picky mfer about craft and much more! If this is half as much fun to listen to as it was to record, it should be a hoot

Better late than never, @ljabouttown.bsky.social’s conversation with Boxcutters/Feast of the Pale Leviathan author @johnchrostek.com podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

Twice-a-week therapy kinda place in my life.

Finally got some Malarkey books in an NPR article!

Hey, this is fun news! Mouth, my fifth book of poems, comes out in January, and I’m delighted to share the cover —

Good morning. Here is the cover, designed by @johnchrostek.com, for @trentbwrites.bsky.social’s forthcoming novel, The Walls Are Closing In On Us, which you can, which you should because it’s good, preorder now! malarkeybooks.com/store/thewal...

Most of our books are available through Bookshop, and you can also support your local bookstore with your order! bookshop.org/shop/malarke...

Spooky season starts today, with The Barre Incidents!

My niece working at my typewriter and hitting the letter “a” over and over: “I’m writing a very long story and most of it is people screaming.”

My ardent love for this bookmail!! @malarkeybooks.bsky.social @vikhinao.bsky.social

BTW - Malarkey Books still has my book, Still Alive, on sale for $13 (!!!!), so if you've been on the fence about taking the plunge, now is the time to do it for cheap. It was longlisted for the 2025 Dublin Literary Awards and some folks say it's good. <3 malarkeybooks.com/store/stilla...
