I love talking to men about @donnacwrites.com Shouldn't We Dance? at book events, love telling them that it beautifully tells a story of male friendship, boyhood, grief, love, and vulnerability. Sold two copies at the Bucks County Book Fest on Saturday!

Three cheers for authors still talking about and trying to find readers for their 'old' books. Seems like publishing moves so fast that once a book has been out for 2 months it gets forgotten. Mine is almost a year old and I'm still out there glowing about it and selling it!

Hot new stack of books from @stanchion.bsky.social! I also super appreciate that all three of these have readable-sized font for the progressive lens wearers amongst us, which I say with gratitude.

Happy book-birthday to my latest baby, THE MISEDUCATION OF CAROLINE BINGLEY! 🥳 🥳 If you want to see a Mean Girl Redemption Arc with open door spice and bitchy quips, this is *the* novel for you. You'll want to shake her (hard) then you'll want to hug her (also hard).

Lads, I have a piece I love dearly out at Bottle Rocket today. Give it a read if you were ever a horny teenager and you’d like to know how teenagers were horny in a Malaysian girls’ school: www.bottlerocketlitmag.com/the-work/seq...

Worst part of the post-submission-window time is the guilt I feel for wanting to read for pleasure (oh shit not THAT topic again!) because I'm halfway through, and loving, @katiewardwriter.bsky.social's Girl Reading but there were over 1000 pieces of writing sent to me last Monday! 😳

Big thx to @stanchion.bsky.social for publishing my poem “AFTER HEARING THE OWNER OF ONLYFANS WAS DEAD”

May the 4th be with you. Here’s my Jedi council of indie presses: Green saber: @autofocusbooks.bsky.social Blue saber: @thirtywestph.com Yellow saber: @stanchion.bsky.social Purple saber: @rejectionlit.bsky.social Red saber: Simon & Schuster (Sith Lord) & Andrew’s McMeel (apprentice)

I didn't know / what to say.

I told everyone who was interested in buying my book Street Cats & Where to Find Them yesterday at a book fest that it's WAY cheaper online, but that I offer a free signature, button, bookmark & real human interaction. I'm probably bad at biz but it's far more important for me to be a good person.

Smallest poem I've ever published, from @runstopwrite.bsky.social, in Issue 20, for #smallpoemsunday.

JMWW flash fiction submissions open til May 15 or we reach our cap. Surprise us! But take your name off the doc first. jmww.submittable.com/Submit

Idk man I feel like even if AI scraped from 100% ethical sources, had zero impact on the environment, and produced gorgeous work, I’d still think you were a bitch for using it

Dazzling poem @kiklodge.bsky.social Anyone aging: read! (hello everyone) if residents bind together, don’t stay slumped, spread out, they create gravitational waves. When they form, neutron stars rotate in space. As they compress and shrink, the spinning speeds up – fivesouth.net/rock-and-rol...

There is nothing in this indie lit scene better than meeting readers at a book festival, talking lovingly about a book and its author, then having someone say something along the lines of, "that sounds awesome, I'll take it!" Selling books irl is the fucking best.

Woke up to book mail from @stanchion.bsky.social, a 10/10 start to the weekend.

I think I'll be rocking this fit again at the Bucks County Book Fest tomorrow because 1) I felt unusually confident in it and 2) I think I looked unusually handsome, too.

And...we're open for Issue Seven submissions! Send us your poems, your prose, your artwork...your oddballs, your beloveds, your I'm-not-sure-who-will-like-this. We want to see it all! asteralesjournal.com/submissions

I'm a (Toronto) Star. Baby's 1st piece in the Canadian newspaper is all 'yay whimsy' and 'fuck AI'. www.thestar.com/life/travel/...

I had the pleasure of reviewing @adamg.bsky.social's "Poems to Stage Dive to." Def check it out! @stanchion.bsky.social

Phew, all rapid responses and an equivalent number of regular submissions have been responded to, with a few hours to spare in the 72 hours I promised. That was...A LOT. 🥴

Some of the greatest fucking writers in the world today, real talents who are banging out gorgeous poetry and prose while working day jobs and raising kids and finding their own unique way of getting through each day send their words to me. How beautifully ridiculous is that?

@dehm000.bsky.social 's poetry collection irl and my short story collection The Last Analog Teenagers go together like Jolt Cola and mediocre pizza. A third free title? Maybe that's the Polar Ice gum to reset the palate.

Don’t like this tweet. Buy 2 books and get 3rd free.

PS: @stanchion.bsky.social also has a buy two get one free sale going on this weekend (code: 2EQUALS3).

The reader feedback I'm getting on irl is making my heart soar. Folks're really catching feelings from my work! 😊 The SALES: not so great. Help a girl out? Buy my baby chapbook: www.stanchionzine.com/product-page... & leave a lil sumthin on Goodreads for me? www.goodreads.com/book/show/24... 🙏

Last day of poetry month shout out to IRL by @dehm000.bsky.social from @stanchion.bsky.social. So good I couldn't bring myself to finish it last night. Just wanted to sit with it for a few days longer. Can't recommend enough. www.stanchionzine.com/product-page...

reading subs in the tub

Let's talk about all the amazing authors @stanchion.bsky.social has published. You want to read all of them, don't you? Why not have a look at the website and see what tickles your fancy?

Y'all have read this poem by @toddedillard.bsky.social, right? www.stanchionzine.com/post/what-th...

Up early. Reading subs. Need to have all rapid response submissions replied to today, with an equal number of randomly selected regular submissions, too.

"What’s more human than fucking?" — @writesloud.bsky.social www.shenandoahliterary.org/thepeak/kick...

Must read this poem. Must read this poem.

I just said yes to a piece that's quite possibly the finest piece of writing I have or will ever publish. If Hollywood makes a lush, gorgeous, late-19th-century film, a la Train Dreams, based on this short story that'll be in Issue 23, I will not be surprised. HOLY EFFING SHIT.

one of my favorite poems in one of my favorite journals!
