Hello, hello! My prize-winning flash in which I reflect upon AI dropped a few days ago, amidst AWP happenings. Thanks to @fracturedlit.bsky.social and Gwen Kirby for plucking this out! CW: suicide, disordered eating fracturedlit.com/blackboxing/

I did what everybody else is doing and wrote about AWP, but specifically about friends and gratitude open.substack.com/pub/olddream...

We're still over the moon from our AWP weekend. 🙌 Thank you to our contributors who popped by, our staff who manned the booth, and the whole SLM fam! 🫶

Our story of the week is Jesus Comes to Dinner by Chris Scott.

Wow. Just amazing. Also perfectly encapsulates the feeling of being a kid and your parents have a friend you don’t know over for dinner!

I'm not opposed to the contractors working on my apartment using the bathroom, but leaving the toilet seat up feels invasive somehow

That time @joeyhedger.bsky.social took a photo and the "part-toddler" popped out

The Malarkey table was awesome at AWP this year! @chrisstevenson.bsky.social @spencerfleury.bsky.social @justinwriter.bsky.social @alexmiller77.bsky.social @malarkeybooks.bsky.social

Love and thanks to @alexmiller77.bsky.social @spencerfleury.bsky.social @joeyhedger.bsky.social @justinwriter.bsky.social & @joshuatrentbrown.com for tabling and reading, and to everyone who bought a book or stopped by to say hey! See you in Chicago!

These three work so well together!

Booth 318. All random question were free. They are now 50-60 percent off.

The malarkey table is entirely writer-run. These guys loaded the books in, organized two readings, are running the table, promoting each others book’s and the books of the writers who can’t be at awp, and are keeping a spreadsheet so I can track everyone’s royalties. Amazing crew. Go visit them!

Yeah, I’m a literary superstar.

@spencerfleury.bsky.social and @justinwriter.bsky.social hawking their books at AWP!

It’s true. New Belgium is a fan of Malarkey Books!

It is the last day of the book fair and I hope everyone had/is having a great time and bought a lot of books, not just ours, but hopefully some of ours.

I am waiting on a plane to leave Baltimore and have ceded the @rfpress.bsky.social table to @publishedbyjake.bsky.social whose got super cool chapbooks! T318. Enjoy today, writer peeps

So gas prices are jumping by 10 cents each day now huh?
