Mid-September in Portland and it's finally raining for real real. And after we tidied up the Future Tense inventory closet, we decided to mark some stuff down. It's a good day to order some books! futuretensebooks.com/shop/

We can't wait to publish the new Shane Kowalski {@dieddisappointed.bsky.social} collection, Are People Out There. You can claim your October copy now! futuretensebooks.com/product/peop...

You can now pre-order my new collection of stories, Are People Out There. It drops 10.31.25 via @futuretensebooks.bsky.social: futuretensebooks.com/product/peop...

i have a story up at Cleveland Review of Books. it's the title story of my forthcoming collection with @futuretensebooks.bsky.social. the story is about a baby.

"The result is an insatiable discomfort coupled with the determination to just keep reading and un-fuzz the whole thing." We love this review of Diana Orepeza's amazing book.

We love seeing reviews and ratings of our books on Goodreads. For small presses, this is hugely important. Hint hint. 😉

Wonderful event last night at Powell’s with @wendyortiz.com in conversation with @emillygprado.bsky.social (Wendy, Emilly, and Kevin)

Tonight!! ✨

a wonderful, wonderfully odd, and kinda perfectly "Kowalski-y" story today from Shane Kowalski! "I read a book review that ended with the reviewer explaining how he was going to kill himself when this review was published. It certainly was a shock!" https://www.havehashad.com/tiaoz

Garielle Lutz (author of Future Tense books, Partial List of People to Bleach and Assisted Living) is featured in The Nation. An amazing and moving profile.

Good luck to our fantastic intern, Hazel Byers, as they move across the country to work at @parisreview.bsky.social 🍎🚚🎉

"An Incomplete Catalog of Disappearance sheds new light on loss, clarifying fresh facets of our prismatic reality even as it complicates old ones. (This) debut can be read in an afternoon, but it will compel you to remain in its orbit." Rain Taxi digs deep into Diana Oropeza's "beguiling" new book.
