The gang is getting together one last time tonight to finalize the copy before we send it to the printer 🎀💖. Thank you everyone who has pre-ordered!

Sites like this are the future of real writing. We have a chance to wrestle legitimacy and culture away from the ossified tyrants who have used it to promote bigotry and state agendas, and we have to seize that chance.

Leap into the new book from @torreypeters.bsky.social 🦌 It's time to join the #StagDance 💗 Out now in paperback: tinyurl.com/StagDancePB

my book came out in paperback yesterday, and to celebrate, I fell off my motorcycle at a very low speed and skinned a finger. In bookstores wherever quality books are sold. Stag Dance, also, is the title. I'm fine.

Next week, STAG DANCE, will be issued with 100% less cardboard and half price. It's a new thing I'm trying, which I've been calling "paperback." Here's a little graphic I had whipped up to trial the idea.

Announcing the 2026 Story Prize Longlist:

bookforum is sponsoring Reading Writers this season, and CharJo are the kind of hosts that let me get earnest in a way I almost never let myself and I feel good about it! also I got to talk about Light Eaters which is a very powerful book to me

This week's Reading Writers is very dear to me. @torreypeters.bsky.social joined for a lively, funny, moving discussion about plant consciousness that I think will leave listeners inspired and hopeful about life/the world/the future/etc. Come get your balm: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/r...

Okay, get this: a supreme court lawyer, a pulitzer-prize winning critic, and some chick obsessed with lumberjacks walk into a bar...

come hang! i am going on the book tour of my dreams. @scumbelievable.bsky.social @reproutopia.bsky.social @torreypeters.bsky.social @hzeavin.bsky.social @katewagner.wehwalt.net @lydiakiesling.bsky.social

Hey, queer Baltimore: one of the free books in Pratt Library's summer giveaway this year is Torrey Peters' brand-new "Stag Dance". It's great. Not every branch has it but I saw it today at the Canton & Highlandtown branches and at Orleans St last week. Just show your library card to get a free copy.

A TWO DOLLAR STAG DANCE. 1.99 to be specific. On Bookshop.org which supports locals. bookshop.org/p/books/stag...

Impressed by this magazine—both the actual making of it and the writing it contains.

Segunda edición de «Detransition, Baby» ya lista y cargada para dinamitar vuestro club de lectura o para que hagáis el mejor regalo del verano. ✨🔥🥰

Audible named Stag Dance as one of the BEST AUDIOBOOKS OF THE YEAR (so far), and while I feel mixed on these lists--I really want to highlight the four voice actors Lee Osorio, Briggon Snow, Eileen Noonan, and Pyrrha Nicole, who brought PERFORMANCES to what could have been just a reading.

I would like to send protesters in L.A. sandwiches and drinks and whatever support they need to stay out. Is there a way to do stuff like that?

waking early to read Grapes of Wrath--which, somehow, I always thought would be hokey--but the dustbowl descriptions are gorgeous and terrifying, the capitalist anger feels righteous, and when I look up from the page the sun comes up red behind smoke and dust from Canada.

Weil mich "Detransition, Baby" von Torrey Peters sehr fasziniert hat schlage ich ihr neues Buch "Stag Dance" vor. www.ullstein.de/werke/stag-d...

Lovely shoutout for @torreypeters.bsky.social letter today from @emilygouldnymag.bsky.social in @nymag.com’s Dinner Party newsletter. “Essential reading for all writers.” !!! #1000wordsofsummer

I wrote a letter for Jami Attenberg's 1000 words of summer-- in which Jami invites guest authors (so far, Kristen Arnett and Karen Russell) to offer writing advice to people who commit to trying to write 1000 words a day for the summer to complete a book. Mine is on the pleasure of being insulted.

I'm not quite done reading Torrey Peters's Stag Dance, but I love it so much. Just a fabulous collection. All of y'all who love short stories should get a copy if you don't already have one.

Just finished STAG DANCE by @torreypeters.bsky.social — hot damn that was a funny, devastating, beautiful, entirely original work of art.

Helllo. I am in Auckland. I have four events here! You can come to one, all, or none of these events, because, apparently, New Zealand is a free country. Weird concept, but okay, go off Kiwis. www.writersfestival.co.nz/programmes/e...

Stag Dance charts the self’s slow, fluid continuum, unpicking the shame that haunts so many of us, across centuries.

So glad Bookforum still exists. I somehow missed this review—it focuses on a bunch of things that were important to me in ways that I hadn’t seen in other pieces. www.bookforum.com/print/3104/l...

It's 1st May, which can only mean one thing: @torreypeters.bsky.social in Manchester talking about Stag Dance. I bloody loved this book and can't wait to hear about it in her words. And hear Torrey read from it! 6.30pm, The Whitworth Gallery. Be there. There is no 'or'.

This was the coolest venue I’ve ever read in

This Thursday, in Cardiff: My most WELSH event…EVER! @queeremporium.bsky.social queeremporium.co.uk/products/pan...

In her second guest column on TFR, @rozmilner.bsky.social takes us on a tour of @torreypeters.bsky.social's latest blockbuster novel Stag Dance, while meditating on what it means to write while trans along the way 🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌

BRISTOL! My UK Launch for STAG DANCE. W/ the wonderful Juliet Jaques! Beyond all self-promotion: spent the last couple of days in the woods with trans people (& my beautiful chaser wife). A good antidote to the news. Hoping to be in a room of UK trans people 4 this allevents.in/bristol/stag...

Har läst Torrey Peters högt efterlängtade andrabok www.expressen.se/kultur/bocke...

This whole thing speaks to so much I feel. But also Morgan’s term “un-woman” is so apt. The legally gendered equivalent of the undead.

It's #buyastrangerabook day! @teafaerie.bsky.social is offering to buy someone a book by Torrey Peters. These are the two currently available from my suppliers. I've added the blurb in the ALT text. If you'd like either, get in touch! UK only

Here at bookhaus we believe trans rights are human rights. Next week we have @torreypeters.bsky.social in conversation with Juliet Jacques to launch Stag Dance, and the week afterwards we have Shon Faye in conversation with Vanessa Kisuule. Support trans authors here www.bookhausbristol.com/events/

THE STAG GOES INTERNATIONAL

En “Detransition, Baby” ( @levantafuego.com ) @torreypeters.bsky.social manda al traste la fantasía de la vida neoyorquina en una novela que habla de madres cis y trans, racismos y transmisoginoir, sexo explícito, fantasías queer reduccionistas, mujeres esplendorosas de todo tipo... ✍️Aïda Camprubí

“Detransition, Baby” ( @levantafuego.com ), de @torreypeters.bsky.social, es un culebrón divertidísimo cuyo argumento podría resumirse en la complejidad de las (no)maternidades y en la construcción de familias queer, pero que es mucho más ligero y atrevido de lo que ya parece. ✍️ Aïda Camprubí

One month to go until you can join @torreypeters.bsky.social and Shon Faye in conversation with Amelia Abraham at this year's Brighton Festival 🎀 Get your tickets now! 📅 Sun 4th May 🕔 5pm 📍 Brighton Dome Corn Exchange 🎟️ tinyurl.com/mryhdypv

Really appreciate the honesty and clarity in this piece. Today's been a good day reading takes on my writing by girls I've read online for years now. The strange writer->reader->poster relationship circles of being online for a generation.

A Blog Post Review by Sam Bodrojan about Stag Dance + my writing in general--especially in terms of larger questions of Trans Literature and Art. cchelmetgirl.substack.com/p/in-the-wak...

had a blast with my pal @torreypeters.bsky.social at Haymarket House discussing her new book Stag Dance! sponsored by the fabulous folks of Women & Children First bookstore! buy, borrow or check it out at your library! gorgeous writing from one of my favorite writers!

For the Chicago STAG DANCE EVENT, @lillywachowski.bsky.social and I acted out scenes from the screenplay we wrote to adapt INFECT YOUR FRIENDS ANS LOVED ONES. I played a flatulent bounty hunter.

Don’t worry. I’m back on the vending machines

I wrote about trying to figure out how bad you have to make things in a story so that your novel seems realistic in the near future. It’s funnier than it sounds.

NEXT MONDAY, APRIL 7, 8PM: Franklin Park Reading Series hosts celebrated authors @torreypeters.bsky.social, Lynne Tillman, Robert Jones, Jr., @bridgettmdavis.bsky.social, @aaantons.bsky.social & @caoilinnhughes.bsky.social!

Detransition, Baby on the Kirkus BEST OF THE CENTURY!!! Very happy!

For anyone else enjoying Torrey Peters’ Stag Dance, there are some great websites glossarizing early 20th century logger slang and even more out there if you have JSTOR access
