Read a little more about how Words Apart came to be here, in this Q&A with @deborahkalb.bsky.social ! deborahkalbbooks.blogspot.com/2025/10/q-wi...

HAPPY BOOK BIRTHDAY TO WORDS APART!!!!! I never thought I would get here but somehow I did. Thanks to everyone who made it a reality @versifybooks.bsky.social. You can buy signed copies of the book at bit.ly/wordsapart-e... and bit.ly/wordsapart-w... or unsigned copies wherever you'd like!

I had such a fabulous time last night at @booksofwonder.bsky.social celebrating the launch of WORDS APART! And I’m extremely grateful to everyone who showed up to collaboratively build a crossword puzzle together. Such a fantastic way to release this book into the world at long last!

I have an article in @publisherswkly.bsky.social today about how sometimes, writing sucks. Read it here! www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

This is good, and frankly less embarrassing results for me than our news quiz. Yes I know I work here.

@bloomberg.com has a daily game! Alphadots is a word puzzle with a plot twist. Created by Jeff Chen, the puzzle is crossword-adjacent, but it's its own a totally novel concept. You can check it out here: www.bloomberg.com/games/alphad...

I'm absolutely thrilled to see such an incredible review of Words Apart! I'm so happy the book resonated with you :)
