103 years ago Sylvia Beach published #Ulysses on James Joyce’s 40th birthday. 3 years ago, we launched a podcast to help you read this life-altering book…with a little help from our friends. Begin today, finish by Bloomsday. Who wants to give it (another) go? 🎧 podfollow.com/sandcoulysses

It’s taken me awhile but Zuck’s announcement does it for me: I’m all in on @bsky.app. I write novels and read novels, 5th one due out in 2/26. Happy to meet writers, readers & other big hearted folks!

Hello BlueSky—Just tuning in, having lost some momentum after the election. By way of introduction, I’m a writer and lit mag editor with a next novel due 2/26. Here’s a shot of my books. I’d love to see yours, too. Share away!! #writingcommunity #historicalfiction #womenwriters

Congratulations to @virginiapye.bsky.social on the launch of her new novel. Here's my review: theresakaminski.com/2023/06/07/h...
