Where to find me at #AWP26! Who will be there?! Would love to see you! Here are links to all my events:

Can’t wait to get my hands on this fairy tale anthology from wildly talented @jpullen19.bsky.social!

One thing that's gotten clearer as I get older is the sense of gut-level knowing of what I NEED to do, what's urgent, how my time should be used. It's amazing to me how insistent this voice gets, and how it gnaws if ignored. Well, I'm listening to it - here at my desk every morning, noveling hard!

You can read an excerpt and interview with me over at One Story, here: one-story.com/product/we-a...

#SFWA folks reading for Nebula noms! My dystopian short story “We Are Sorry For Your Suffering” (One Story) is on the Reading List & eligible! It's about humanity's destruction by sentient AI, yet also about the last human child found in the ruins, parenthood, consciousness, hope (somehow).

TOMORROW, Sunday February 8th (4 - 5pm ET)! Live (and free to attend) on Zoom! I'm excited to host this "Pre-AWP" reading featuring the writers of our #AWP26 panel (of the same name): @sequoian.bsky.social, @erikaswyler.bsky.social, Allegra Hyde, & Jane Pek! Learn More / RSVP: tinyurl.com/wc9na74y

Thanks so much!

Cover reveal for the reprinting / second life of my short story “Frog Heart,” as a stand-alone chapbook, thanks to @ikeproject.bsky.social! This is a handcrafted papercut from UK artist Darin Mount! Preorders are open! Gift idea for your fairy tale-loving friend! More here: tinyurl.com/4jmt4nhj

I can’t wait to read these!

“The weirder your writing the more specific it will be.” - Molly Aitken, on how to find your authentic voice

I'm super excited to share this interview the amazing Stevie Billows did with me for Straw DogWriters Guild! It was so much fun, and I got to ramble on about why I love fairy tales, fairy tale tropes, also my process, projects, and some publishing advice too! Check-it out here: tinyurl.com/4b2725s8

Also: If you’re interested in reading my issue of One Story, let me know! It’s SOLD OUT at One Story, but if you’re a subscriber you can request a digital copy (of the last three issues). If you’re a @sfwa.org member reading for Nebula nom consideration, it’s up on the Reading List - but DM me too!

Had a great time reading last weekend at in Florence MA! It was a full house! Thanks to all who attended! This first photo feels very apropos of the current moment: Reading a post-apocalyptic story in what feels like the nuclear last-gasp of our civilization. Yet does that green plant portend hope?

Thanks so much!

Thank you, Kirsten!

Thanks so much!

Thank you!

Thanks! Really appreciate this! I actually began this closer to 2017, so it's become more relevant over the years, which has been interesting to watch.

If want to read it but can’t access the Reading List for whatever reason, DM me and I’ll make sure you get a copy! It's also Hugo Award-eligible! It's sold out at One Story, but you can also read an excerpt + interview with me over at One Story, here: one-story.com/product/we-a...

Hey! Did you send me an email? Trying to discern truth from AI scam and it’s getting harder to tell.

It feels like the only way to appease them, doesn’t it?!

A haunted house but the ghosts are your unfinished writing projects (only able to be freed from their liminal state by you writing, which you are perhaps doing now...)
