So honored to be interviewed by Third Coast! We discussed many lovely topics, including but not limited to violence and defecation

Deeply honored to have my latest flash, about a selkie and her skin, in the Cincinnati Review miCRo: www.cincinnatireview.com/micro/micro-...

Huge congratulations to @blackquisition.bsky.social for selling bet debut novel, Stable! I can’t wait to read this book and celebrate it!!! @henryholtbooks.bsky.social

I have read, twice, Kevin Wilson’s Run for the Hills. Kevin does a thing, that I think is synonymous with brilliant writing, he makes a character think or say a thing that is true for the character, the story they are in, & also for the world at large. In so doing he makes the reader see themselves.

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

Granta mourns Mario Vargas Llosa. In memory of his life and work, we have lifted the paywall on all of his writing for the magazine, from his fiction to his account of running for the presidency of Peru.

We're in Los Angeles this week- Thurs-Sat! Visit us at #AWP25 bookfair – T249 🤩 Stop by on Saturday for a book signing featuring FICTIONS author @ashleyhoneysett.bsky.social at 10:30AM

I’m going to be zooming in for this, but I’m so glad to be part of this community at 100 West Corsicana, and I can’t wait to be there soon to do work that feels urgent to me.

Today, I have a short non-fic piece about a monument I walk past every day in The Palisades Review. Free Gaza. Free all of us.

While you're making your AWP plans, don't forget about this one! The featured readers are going to bring down the house. We're excited to co-host w/ @adroitjournal.bsky.social & @pleiadesmag.bsky.social. See you soon!

I don’t enjoy listening to my own voice or even watching myself, I am grateful to lend my voice to an organization that’s changed my life, as it has done for countless others. @kenyonreview.bsky.social supports the making of art in its rawest, most honest form. And to do that is radical.

Grateful for the opportunities—still profoundly surprised that I get to do this thing I love. Mindful that in undertaking this work, especially now, I also have the opportunity to give back. Excited to soon be part of this community and to stand alongside the very talented A. A. Balaskovits.

Congratulations to the winners and it’s nice to be on the list of finalists with l Latifa Ayad whose story was a finalist for flash fiction. Going to go celebrate this moment!

“I have come here often. A whole childhood, every single day. All these arrivals are false, because in reality I was born here. Here I can do nothing but return.” —Kerstin Elkman

Can’t wait to read this copy of @kenyonreview.bsky.social freshly arrived in my mailbox. I love all the work our team chooses and I absolutely posed the book because it’s gorgeous!
