Prepping for a speculative fiction class I’m teaching next month, and I'm finding so many gems from my favorite authors on why we write magic. I hope you’ll join me at Rutgers-Camden Writers House / Cooper Street Workshops, March 1 on Zoom! writershouse.camden.rutges.edu/events

I loved Nora Lange's thoughtful answer on having (lacking) authority in parenthood and as an author. Approximate quote from the I'm a Writer But podcast:

🌍 Vanessa Saunders interviewed by @racheltaube.bsky.social on her debut novel THE FLAT WOMAN in @electriclit.bsky.social ~ Read more : electricliterature.com/the-flat-wom...

I'm back on the internet (at least a little), and I absolutely loved talking to Vanessa about her weird, smart, very funny, and feminist climate novel. Go read The Flat Woman. "Ben Lerner talked about how love is an antidote to despair. I think that humor is as well."
