Thrilled to be reading this week with the brilliant Gina Chung (new collection GREEN FROG out now!), thanks to the magic of @jeremybroyles.bsky.socialwww.mesacc.edu/departments/...

I have 50/75 cents, and I’ll make the time.

It’s almost baseball season. Does that help any? At all?

Something like 97% of all novel-length projects are abandoned. You are the three percent. Congrats. Truly. It’s no mean feat.

My sincere thanks to all who attended our #AWP24 panel today on debut novels. I hope you took something from today that brings you a step closer to putting your own debut out into the world. I look forward to reading.

I’ve been away from this account for a minute, but the ducks are—at last—in a row. Just in time for #AWP24. I’ll be on a panel Thursday morning chatting about how to debut as a novelist. Feel free to stop in. Mostly, though, I’ll be looking for books to buy and friends to greet. Hope to chat soon.

😆

Godspeed, Prof. Wendt. We here in the Southwest are only one day behind you.

Two in a row? Are they at least virtual?

It’s hard to articulate just how excited I am this story of mine (A) found a home and (B) that home is BULL—a publication I adore and, frankly, you should too.
