The Goldfish in the Pond at the Community Garden — Split Lip Magazine In the years I lived in that neighborhood, when I was twenty-seven and later twenty-eight, I visited the goldfish daily.

@katedoyle.bsky.social has this ability to make a small action, feel so true to a character and circumstance and reverberate beyond the story.

Alison! Thank you for this! ❤️

Photograph of a small brown dog beside a stack of books.

Red text on a pink field: We're named after Luna, a former bookshop dog, and the Dutch word for "books," because Luna lives in the Netherlands.

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

Working on a new project with Emma Hine!

Bruna Dantas Lobato: On Awakening to Language, Writing Slowly, How Quiet Books Can Be Momentous, and Her Debut Novel ‘Blue Light Hours’ — Write or Die Magazine Interview with Bruna Dantas Lobato on Awakening to Language, Writing Slowly, How Quiet Books Can Be Momentous, and Her Debut Novel ‘Blue Light Hours’

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

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.

No I won’t ‘calm down’ about Greta Gerwig Kate Doyle follows the dazzling trajectory of Great Gerwig’s career from Frances Ha to Barbie – and laments that women directors rarely receive due credit.

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.

Can't wait for your episode! ❤️

My latest review!!

Review of Kate Doyle’s “I Meant It Once” by Jody Hobbs Hesler Show me a mistake that isn’t avoidable or a person who never makes one. How much easier these characters’ lives would be if they allowed themselves to fail and learn and grow. (reviews)

"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!!
