@katedoyle.bsky.social has this ability to make a small action, feel so true to a character and circumstance and reverberate beyond the story. "I’m nowhere, I told him. I mean, I’m at home." @smokelong.bsky.social splitlipthemag.com/flash/0922/k...

Why are we called Luna Boeken, you asked? 🐕📚

Working on a new project with Emma Hine!

Sundays are for finally reading this gem by @katedoyle.bsky.social. 📖

"Basilicum, munt, peterselie. She reached across the lushness of the plants to shake your hand—offered to take a walk, to show you both the neighborhood." Contributor @katedoyle.bsky.social 's new story "Try Hard" is out now Terrazzo Mag! Read it here: buff.ly/4h0PcfB

One of our ANMLY comrades told me they can't continue reading because they lost their housing. If the work at ANMLY has ever meant anything to you, or if the work that I have ever done in any capacity has ever meant anything to you, please consider helping them stay safe. gofund.me/0e09177d

A small piece of a longer work in progress — a little story from what I hope will be a larger whole. Thanks to Gina Nutt and Terrazzo Editions 🩵 www.terrazzoeditions.com/terrazzomag/...

There's nothing like an interview on writing and translation for ACCOMPLISHMENT SUNDAY 🥰 Contributor @katedoyle.bsky.social interviewed Bruna Dantas Lobato for Write or Die Magazine on her debut novel BLUE LIGHT HOURS: https://buff.ly/4fShVTw

This joint is JUMPIN! So even though we just posted it, a smol reminder to those of you still looking for a home for your nonfiction/hybrid full-length project: we're halfway through our last month of NF/H SUBMISSIONS, so put your foot on the gas and get it sent before the end of the day on Dec 1!

My good fortune to have known Bruna almost a decade and to interview her about her novel "Blue Lights Hours." This conversation was, for me -- and maybe you for you? -- a helpful reminder that there's no one kind of novel, and no one way to write one.

The @splitlipthemag.bsky.social FAM IS ON FIRE!!! Congrats to @amystuber.bsky.social @janellebassett.bsky.social @ritamookerjee.bsky.social @aureleo.bsky.social @reemarp.bsky.social @jessnirvanapoet.bsky.social @alinaetc.bsky.social @darrencdemaree.bsky.social @katedoyle.bsky.social & More!

Longlisted for The Story Prize!!

Before Barbie there was Frances Ha... Thanks @wearebookanista.bsky.social for a place to say what I've wanted to say for a long time about Greta Gerwig.

This episode of Burned by Books with @katedoyle.bsky.social about her debut story collection I MEANT IT ONCE is fantastic! Listen to their conversation, and buy Kate's stunning book!

I Meant It Once was a 2023 librarians' favorite at Brooklyn Public Library: "Guaranteed to make you feel all the feels!" I used to check out story collections from the Brower Park branch in the midst of writing this book. Honored! ❤️https://www.bklynlibrary.org/media/press/brooklyn-public-library-128

If you haven't read I MEANT IT ONCE by @katedoyle.bsky.social, what are you waiting for???

"Perfect for fans of Greta Gerwig" 💖 thegloss.ie/40-best-book...

My latest review!!

"With wry wit and meticulous precision, Doyle immerses us in the bittersweet aching of that last sliver of young adulthood." @jodyhobbshesler.bsky.social, @anotherchicagomag.bsky.social, thank you! anotherchicagomagazine.net/2023/11/14/r...

This book!!

Don't miss today's conversation with translator, essayist & now novelist Kate Briggs. What happens when you place something deemed unworthy of narration at the center of your story? What do we learn about the biases baked into our storytelling? Audio: tinhouse.com/podcast/kate...

I highly recommend this fantastic—and important—essay by @katedoyle.bsky.social about how we devalue the experiences of young women! "We learn to question our own experiences. As in: maybe it wasn’t that bad. Maybe it was all in my head. Maybe I had it coming."

Stepping out from behind the veil of fiction after all these years is a strange feeling but I'm grateful to @cassmannes.bsky.social and @rachellayown.bsky.social for seeing this essay as, well, serious. chireviewofbooks.com/2023/10/18/t...

Talking about some favorites: Chang, Levy, Julavits, Gainza, Didion. shepherd.com/best-books/m...

This is a really special issue full of love, loss, and humans striving to be and get better. Thank you for taking the time to read it.

Happy Coming Out Day 🏳️‍🌈! It took me 80k words to come out as genderqueer (and to discover it) and I'm so happy I did! Sending love to all those who can't or choose not to come out for any reason ❤️

I have still have some spare downloads of the I Meant It Once audiobook to give away — if you want one, let me know!
