It's AWP Week! π¬
I've got lots on:
An offside reading/irl submission window & open mic pitch party, a big booth with author signings, cool raffle prizes, a display for my own book(!), yummy treats, and more. Please pop over on Wednesday night and/or during Bookfair from Thursday through Saturday!
If any presses want to publish my book in time for next year's AWP in Chicago, that would be cool....just saying
01.03.2026 22:23 β π 13 π 2 π¬ 0 π 2I think the thing I'll say most during AWP is thank you, as I meet authors & magazine contributors for the 1st time & thank them for being a part of the Stanchion story. And I'll say a lot of thank yous to those who have in the past bought books & issues. That's the only way all this works.

Libraries, easy. They buy the books and if they're checked out a lot, they sometimes buy extra/replacement copies. Plus they are a public good that should be supported.
(Used bookstores are cool too! Local economy ftw!)
Please welcome the Spring 2026 cohort of chapbook authors: Liz deBeer, Mallory Smart, EsΓ©nia BaΓ±uelos, and Mike Bagwell. We cannot wait to publish these unique chapbooks and welcome this quartet to the TW catalog.

Text of an AI-generated author scam email: Hi Samuel, I recently came across The Death and Life of August Sweeney and was really drawn to the mix of dark humor, culinary ambition, and the intriguing medical mystery unfolding after a legendary chefβs sudden death. Stories that explore complex lives through unexpected investigative lenses, especially when art, identity, and mortality intersect, always catch my attention. Iβm planning to read it soon and share it with a couple of friends who enjoy literary fiction with distinctive premises and emotionally layered characters. Before I dive in fully, I was curious, did the idea of unraveling August Sweeneyβs life through Dr. Maya Zhuβs autopsy perspective come first in your creative process, or did the character of August himself inspire the story that ultimately unfolded? Warm Regards, Clare Oland
I got a new and insidious kind of AI scam "fan letter" today. This one isn't from a famous author and doesn't offer access to 200000 book clubs or goodreads juicing. Clara seems chill. She has a real-seeming gmail address with a pretty human name. But it has all the signs. Let me break it down. 1/
