Reading Maggie O'Farrell's Hamnet. Listening to Max Richter's Hamnet film score.

I got some pretty great bookish news tonight. Maybe I'll be able to talk about it officially during awp. Maybe not. Either way, meow. 😻

You're cordially invited to spend An Evening with Stanchion. Please save the date, time & location for this special AWP offsite reading, open mic pitch party & celebration at the stunning Black-owned bookstore, record shop & community space @vinylnpages.bsky.social.

So looking forward to this!

I think I'm already burnt out from AWP and it doesn't even start for 6 days.

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, Esénia Bañuelos, 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 chef’s sudden death. Stories that explore complex lives through unexpected investigative lenses, especially when art, identity, and mortality intersect, always catch my attention. I’m 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 Sweeney’s life through Dr. Maya Zhu’s 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/
