Trying again:

(I know that links to an ancient post. I've since heavily revised a good chunk of the novel and just started querying agents again.)

100% agree and also that said if any lit agents happen to think it's because of too few sports novels about dads, hit me up:

"USA v. Rockies" is also a landmark supreme court case where they ruled 6-3 it is okay to blow up a mountain as long as a venture capitalist signs an affidavit saying he thinks there are jewels inside

All those years of "The nanny state libs are coming for your sodas, they're coming for your hamburgers, they're coming for your steaks!" shrieking from Republicans, just to wind up with this dude as their avatar.

This sounds amazing, and reminder that Emily wrote a great basketball novel too: bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

On my way to #NotAtAWP26* this morning, this guy** at the airport*** wouldn't shut up****. Sigh.

***in the car on the way to get dropped off at school

****in his defense, he has a big history project he's behind on

Shout-out to Source Booksellers in Detroit! And isn't Pages Bookshop on Grand River Black-owned too?

Apparently, ditto.

My wife gave me the last brownie to take to work and I already ate it, so we're off to a great start here at #NotAtAWP26, @notatawp.bsky.social. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Shout-out to my publisher, @matchfactoryeds.bsky.social!

Brett White II gave up hoop dreams to help family. At 28, it's game on Brett White, at 28, has emerged as a key player for Oakland's NCAA Tournament hopes, a decade after he wasn't sure he'd ever play basketball again.

Hey, uh, can anyone with a Detroit News subscription copy-paste this paywalled article for me? The headline is shockingly close to being a logline for my hoops novel I'm querying agents for...

The problem with receiving a t-shirt via a cannon is that it then completely ruins being given clothing in a conventional manner. yeah thanks for handing me my trousers I guess, you unremarkable old bastard.

English teacher life: I've worked 60-80 hours a week for over 25 years, but yeah it's really fun a lot of the time, no I'm actually serious guys

Call Encyclopedia Brown because I do not know.

My thoughts exactly.

I take it back! Hire me to design things! 😃

Are you sad you're missing AWP? Join our open mic Thursday @ 8:00 pm Eastern!

Wish you could hit the book fair? The hotel bar? Just pile up your 79 unread books you already own by your computer, grab a drink, and get NAWPy!

Just kidding. It's my busy month at work. But maybe next month...

It's been a long time since I asked Burch or Crow to let me do a HAD call...🤔

I have definitely had the "in the airport waiting at the gate with an hour to kill" mass rejections before. One year I got something like 6 on AWP Sunday! Just a grizzly scene.

In case you aren't familiar with NAWP, the whole thing started because we're busy teachers/parents, so things come up for us all the time. This is, or better or worse, 100% normal NAWP. Thanks for your flexibility, and we'll see you an hour later than originally planned on Thursday! NAWP!

Mine arrived today—get yours! It's great!

The Size of the Horizon, or, I Explained Everything to the Trees Check out The Size of the Horizon, or, I Explained Everything to the Trees - <p>Parents can be expected to know all, but they don't have many answers in a world of constantly moving rights and wrongs....

Anyway, buy my book if you like poetry? Actually, my book might be at AWP without me... Well, if it's not, it's always here:

And now, something like 3 hours later, I realize I could've just made this w/a text box over my book cover and had the border go all the way around instead of just the sides and hey guess we know why I don't work in design.

That is 100% the kind of poor man's cocktail trick I would pull, too.

had a crab-adjacent question on the NAWP account.

Oh geez, it didn't look that big and in-your-face when I whipped the joke together in 90 seconds on PowerPoint. Sorry.

Hey, finally got around to making one of those "Where I'll be at #AWP26" flyers. Maybe I'll see ya by the washer & dryer! 🤞
