Not sure how I pulled off this AWP Offsite lineup See you Wednesday, March 4!

With the WP book section closing and other publishing news, I think literary people really need to adopt a punk rock mindset. It's DIY or die these days.

Paul Martínez Pompa

We spy a number of Acre authors on this list! 🎉🎉🎉

New story up on X-R-A-Y! It's about a stoned slacker who owes a muscular woman money

I wish I could be at this reading so bad. If you're going to awp put this on your list!

Thanks to @neonpajamas.bsky.social for organizing this excellent AWP reading! Really looking forward to being with this great crew.

I'm excited to be part of this!! If you or someone you love will be at AWP, then leave AWP and come to this!

This looks great.

ok so my plan was to avoid Big Writing Conference this year, as i do (due to, you see, a severe allergy to laminated badges & fluorescent-lit convention centers), but then @neonpajamas.bsky.social had to go & scheme the most incredible lineup for an offsite, & now...... 🪄🪄🪄 SEE YOU THERE!!!!

My first in-person reading since 2019 (hope I don't faint from anxiety!) and I don't know how I got to be in such fucking amazing company. Thanks, Ben!

"There was something really funny to me about the idea of the works appearing as if on a conveyor belt. It’s ridiculous. Because what kind of capitalist hell would actually dedicate the resources of a factory to commodifying my little poems & scraps of paper?" www.neonpajamas.com/blog/evan-ni...
