Thank you so much for this. Srsly not tearing up at all. 🫶🏻

If your first novel was not a traditional “success,” where do you find the confidence to write the second novel?

…Asking for a friend.

The image is a drawing from the movie JAWS and features a minimalist, white outline of a stylized shark on a dark gray background. The shark is depicted with its mouth wide open, revealing jagged teeth, and has a large circular eye. Inside the shark’s mouth, there is a simplistic figure of a person. Across the shark and the person, bold red text overlays the image, reading “My Novel” and “Me.” The background is plain, allowing the white outline and text to stand out prominently.

Y’all know me. Know how I earn a livin’. I’ll write this bird for you, but it ain’t gonna be easy.

The image features a book cover and an e-reader displaying the same cover design. The book, standing upright, is titled "AMERIKALAND" by Danny Goodman. The cover artwork is stylized, depicting an abstract city skyline in shades of blue with a prominent bridge spanning across the scene. Above the skyline, the sky is illustrated with orange and yellow flame-like shapes. The e-reader, to the right and slightly overlapping, also shows the identical cover design. Below the cityscape, the author's name is prominently displayed in white against a teal background.

Did you know AMERIKALAND is available as an ebook? Well, it is! 📱📖 #booksky #authorsky #writingcommunity

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

After practice today, I asked Natasha Cloud about Trump’s callous rhetoric directed towards Zohran Mamdani in the days since Zohran’s Democratic mayoral primary win here in NYC. As always, Tash spoke with compassion, with urgency, with morality.

Yes yes! @chantalalive.bsky.social is an incredible champion, a generous supporter, and a brilliant writer! 🙏🏻🫶🏻

The image depicts a dynamic scene from a WNBA game. Kelsey Plum is being held in the air by teammate Rickea Jackson. Plum is off the ground, with one leg bent, suggesting a playful struggle. In the background, there are people on the sidelines, some wearing blue clothing and others blurred out, showing expressions of interest or reaction to the gameplay. The text "me" is overlaid on Plum, while "my novel" is written on Jackson.

That W(riting) life.

She was the Speaker of the Minnesota House and she was assassinated along with her husband by someone impersonating a police officer; this is terrifying and also just so symptomatic of the political madness and violence Trump has sown

The image shows the author outdoors, smiling widely, and holding up a book titled "Amerikaland" by Danny Goodman. The individual is wearing black-rimmed glasses and a blue shirt. They have short dark hair and facial hair. The book cover features a stylized city skyline with flames above it, depicted in shades of blue, orange, and green against a red background. In the background, out-of-focus greenery suggests a garden or park-like setting with bright, diffused light.

The image features the cover of a book titled "Amerikaland" against a backdrop of the Brooklyn Bridge. The bridge, captured from a central perspective, extends into the distance with cables converging towards an American flag in the center. The city skyline of New York is visible on the left. The book cover has an orange sky with stylized flame-like patterns at the top, a blue silhouette of city buildings, and a depiction of a bridge crossing a river. The book cover includes the title "AMERIKALAND" in white uppercase letters at the top, and "A Novel" in cursive font below. The author, Danny Goodman, is mentioned at the bottom in white uppercase letters, along with a quote from Daniel Torday. At the lower section of the image, text in bold black font reads, "On Sale 6/4/24." A logo for Leftover Books is at the bottom left corner.

The image features the author holding a book titled "AMERIKALAND" in front of a serene body of water during sunset. The book cover has an illustration of vivid orange flames rising above a cityscape silhouette in blue, with a bridge in the foreground. The background showcases a soft, glowing sunset with a bright sun near the horizon, creating a warm and relaxing ambiance. The person holding the book is wearing a dark watch with a tattoo below it.

A happy group of people pose together in a bookstore, each holding up a copy of AMERIKALAND, surrounded by shelves filled with books.

I can't believe it has been a year since AMERIKALAND made its way into the world. It has been an incredible experience, made all the more wonderful by everyone who has supported me & this book, lifted us up time & time again. I cannot thank you enough. Love y'all so much. 🫶🏻📚⚾🎾🏳️‍🌈🔥

Newman from Seinfeld in a postal uniform driving a vehicle. Kramer speaks emphatically. Text overlay reads, "You said write what I know, so I'm writing what I know." The tone is humorous and assertive.

The image depicts a basketball game in progress on a brightly lit court. In the foreground, Napheesa Collier is dribbling a basketball. Paige Bueckers is attempting to guard her. The setting is vibrant, with a blurred background showing other players and spectators. Two blue and white labeled text boxes are superimposed on the players; the box on the player in white reads “My novel-in-progress,” and the box on the player in dark reads “Me.”

Broadside #26 (Spring 2012 / 12.8) Danny Goodman Memorial Day FRIDAY The kite hovered like a gull, just high enough that I thought, for a moment, it might break from its string and glide over the Atlantic. My father pointed out into…

Fifteen years ago this weekend, I began #writing what would eventually become my first novel. Though it remains unpublished, I love it, and the journey it began for me, deeply.
