this isn't some mythical internet thing; this was sent to me today regarding a client's pitch. a fucking joke.

From one of your publishing heroes:

"...we’re only considering those by debut authors who have at least 500K+ followers on social media or some other high-profile platform or celebrity status."

Seriously. 'Don't even send us the manuscript unless you dance on tiktok like a crazed MFer.'

KZ is one of my longest standing clients and I am very proud of the way she has conducted herself in this business and this society here in the year of our good-lord-wtf-is-happening 2025. Go get this book.

I just won a National Arts and Entertainment Award from the LA Press Club!!!

It's official! My debut novel will arrive in the spring of 2027. Thanks to my wonderful agent @markfalkin.bsky.social and all the lovely people at Melville House who got behind this book!

Daniel Woodrell, ‘Country Noir’ Novelist of ‘Winter’s Bone,’ Dies at 72

One of my writer heros for sure. Read much of his work, and Winter's Bone is truly a masterpiece of any genre or artform.

The Pauline Kael of now, Kristen Lopez, has a book dropping 11/27. Forward by TCM’s Ben Mankiewicz, praise from Patton Oswalt.

I don't do this often but good lordy lord lord please go experience the audiobook of @sgj.bsky.social's The Buffalo Hunter Hunter if you can. High recommend. Victorian em dashes and excalmation points.

Disability Visibility: a starter pack of twenty depictions of disability on film • Journal • A Letterboxd Magazine With her book Popcorn Disabilities soon to hit shelves, author Kristen Lopez offers a starter pack of twenty films about disability—from the good (The Best Years of Our Lives) to the not-so-good (Rain...

Congratulations to FalkinLit client Laurent Bouzereau for the 2026 Grammy nomination (Best Music Film) for his work on the documentary 'Music by John Williams'!

Ellen Datlow’s Best Horror of the Year, Volume 17 Delivers Terror at Its Finest | BookTrib. I have to admit, as a horror writer, editor and reader, these “best of” anthologies are like candy. Part of me wants to curl up on the couch and read such a lovely volume straight through, and another...

Attending the Legacy Elementary ribbon-cutting with my author client Craig Garnett felt necessary. I also had the honor of meeting the staff at the Uvalde Leader-News, including Kimberly Rubio. #Uvalde #craiggarnett #uvaldesdarkesthour

Images can’t force compassion in culture that accepts violent death - Uvalde Leader News In the chaotic days after May 24, 2022, I fielded calls, emails, and handwritten letters from heartbroken and angry people across the nation, urging families to release photos of the children’s wounds...

Better to Reign in Art Than Serve the Algorithm: Ozzy Osbourne as One of the Last Rebels What distinguishes Ozzy from the boring and unimaginative pop stars of the algorithm is that it was an image he created. And when he created that image, he was often battling against record company ex...

FalkinLit's David Masciotra: "Anyone honest would have to acknowledge that it is impossible to imagine the rise of anyone like Ozzy in the contemporary “marketplace,” which more than anything is what it sounds like–a zone where commerce has finally won its ancient fight with art." shorturl.at/j07uT

Why ‘Jaws’ Works

Yes. Yet more Jaws stuff from #falkinliterary. Not often you have 2 clients (Bouzereau & Benchley) in one moment. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/17/a...
