Poetry Online on 2nd Wednesdays, starting March 11th. Fiction in person on 3rd Sundays, starting April 19th.

Want to read amazing books, build community, and meet small press writers? Join the book club!
I'm working with The Writer's Center on two new book clubs that focus on independent authors and presses!!
We'll read a new book each month. Then the author will join us, read an excerpt, and answer reader questions!
Read with us!
Ugh, I'm sorry the Alt text didn't post for any of these. Wtf?!

This semester has been one of the best teaching semesters of my life and it's almost entirely because of going 90%+ to pen and paper.
My students are fully doing it, without complaint, and it's beautiful. They're actually reading. They're writing weird shit. They're being brave.
They like this.

Indie publishers, I beg you to post high-res book covers and author photos alongside your book links. If you really want to be fancy, add in a downloadable PR sheet.
SELL YOUR BOOKS, MY LOVES. That includes giving reviewers and journalists the PR materials they need without having to email you!
On January 24th, my parents home burned down. They and my disabled brother escaped with only minor burns but they lost everything they've ever had.
I'm running a GoFundMe to help them recover and rebuild. I would be deeply grateful for any donations but also for any shares!
My children are never going back to school again, y'all. 😭
