Check it out! The edited transcript of last month's Word for Word instructor spotlight featuring writer/instructors Dan Gleason and @tracycrow.bsky.social! Enjoy! #litmag penmenreview.com/spotlight/in...

Many thanks to Bruce Rosenstein, an author, editor, journalist, and speaker, for featuring me on his terrific blog, "Living In More Than One World." @brucerosenstein.bsky.social @unmpress.bsky.social @tracycrow.bsky.social brucerosenstein.com/three-questi...

Looking forward to spending the evening, Nov. 19, with the wonderful literary community of @SNHU MA and MFA writers! Hope you’ll join us!

Finally a corporation is reacting to what’s happening here. Don’t be surprised that it’s not a car company or a shampoo brand. They’re all still pretending that life is normal. It’s a bookstore. Barnes and Noble fills their store display windows with Orwell’s 1984 and Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale.

So excited to reveal the new cover of MilSpeak Foundation’s fall release! What a beauty!

Thank you for believing in my book, @unmpress.bsky.social I'm proud to share the savvy cover reveal. TY to my agent @tracycrow.bsky.social

Congrats to client, Fred Fisher, on the release TODAY of his compelling memoir, “The Practice Run: How a Failed Art Heist Provided a Blueprint for the World's Largest Art Robbery.”

Most of my literary agency clients live too far away for me to attend their book launches, but not Barbara Presnell! Such an amazing turnout! Looking so forward to hearing her read this evening! Book signed! ✅ The University of South Carolina Press

This is a story every American needs to read.

It may be breaking, but @booker.senate.gov's voice has never been more powerful. Thank you, my friend, for speaking out for freedom, justice, and the country we love.

Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century." snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

This is one of those books that should absolutely not work. It does. I laughed in an airport lounge loudly enough that people turned to look at me. I also cried MORE THAN ONCE over a book about a MOON MADE OF CHEESE. Fuck you, @scalzi.com. How dare. Everyone had better get a copy: rb.gy/3h9dzo

MilSpeak is in the House of #AWP25! Drop by T-1044 to say hello!

I couldn’t sign this memoir fast enough! So honored to offer a publishing pathway into the world for NOT OUR PROBLEM, releasing summer 2026 from MilSpeak Foundation!

Lovely new author website from client, Barbara Presnell, whose forthcoming debut memoir, OTHERWISE, I’M FINE, releases in April! (www.barbarapresnell.com) Available for pre-ordering wherever you prefer to buy books!

Charlotte-area Friends — Join a discussion with client, Edward Jones, as he shares his heavily researched true-crime biography that occurred in your backyard; what led to the murders; and what we should all know about the potential side-effects of over-prescribed SSRI cocktail combinations.

Congrats to client, Edward Jones! Today is pub day for his heavily researched and compelling biography — “Medication, Mental Illness, and Murder: What Really Killed the Crespi Twins.” Available wherever you prefer to buy books!

They called him Sleepy Joe because we could sleep at night.

Seems so unfair to residents of Michigan, Minnesota, and New York who have actually been great neighbors! So sorry, Fellow Americans!

They’re here! The thrill of holding an author’s new book for the first time never gets old! BECAUSE by James B. Wells! Available for preordering!

Thank you, Prime Minister Trudeau. For your hard work, for your leadership, and for your great service to our country.

Today, we honor the bravery and sacrifice of those who, 60 years ago, marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, risking everything for the right to vote and the promise of true freedom. Their courage paved the way, and it’s on us to keep pushing forward.

Friendly reminder: if you are waiting on something from a US-based scientist/reviewer/editor, please realize that we're barely making it through each day putting out non-stop fires and trying not to collapse into tears. We're trying our best, but things will take longer right now. Give grace.

🚨ATTENTION The deadline to register to vote in Florida’s special elections in CD-1 or CD-6 is THIS MONDAY, March 3rd. These two seats are crucial with a narrow majority in the House. Double check your status and register to vote at iwillvote.com.

This man is the leader of the free world.

This! Yes!

Dear Humanity: I can now empathize with how peace-loving Russians must feel, trapped in an authoritarian government. Trying to go about their days, their existence, while rich, white narcissists playing gods make decisions that steer the future and daily affect the quality of life. ~ An American

Love this! Miss him so much!

Sad, but not surprised. If T thinks Dan “Razin” Caine (CQ’s replacement) will follow an unlawful order, he doesn’t Caine.

Today’s cover of the Murdoch-owned New York Post

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

Dear President Zelenskyy and the People of Ukraine — please stay safe and strong! America loves you! 🇺🇦

NEW 👀: As predicted, Judge Ho has ordered a hearing for 2 p.m. this Wednesday to explore why the DOJ has moved to dismiss the charges against NYC Mayor Eric Adams. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/n...

It’s about having red hair and freckles FFS and how to be cool with that when other kids make fun of it. By that twisted logic, you’d have to ban pretty much every children’s book, old and new www.cnn.com/2025/02/17/e...

REPOST if you stand with AOC!

I repeat…

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

“No American can be proud of a govt that carries out change in this way. Neither can these actions be rationalized by discussion of past grievances or appeals to efficiency. Everything can be more efficient, but adherence to the rule of law is paramount” www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

Talk about being dramatic — Rosie, our robot vacuum, sent this notification today, and my first thought was, “Girl, get in line!” 🤣😂🤣

Actual common sense in a single video.
