I wrote an essay for @lithub.com.web.brid.gy about how I think there are two subgenres of dystopian fiction - the allegorical / thought experiment and the potential horrible future - and how they seem to be blending more and more…and converging with reality. lithub.com/its-okay-but...

I'm all better now but sadly not in time to make it out for the event in Seattle tonight with Wendy Wagner We are working on rescheduling. Stay tuned! I'm so sorry. I can't tell you how disappointed I am to have missed three stops, but I'm relieved to be otherwise back on track.

I spent the summer reporting this essay on why it seems harder than ever to sell a book right now—especially if it isn't a debut and comes with the dreaded "sales track." I'm grateful to the writers, agents, editors, publishers & experts who spoke to me for this piece: thewalrus.ca/the-publishi...

Saltcrop by @yumewrites.bsky.social is now out! It's a near future tale of two sisters who must travel across a dying earth to find their missing sibling who left to seek a cure for ecological collapse ⛵🌾❤️ It's a strange and beautiful journey about family, resilience, hope and mystery 💙📚🪐

I’m so excited for this!! If it’s successful there will definitely be more to come in the future in more places! Please come out!
