The Disappeared turns one year old today! Very grateful to everyone who picked up a copy or supported it in some way this past year! 💙
Yes, it's tough out there. My publisher is also trying to figure out how to regroup after this one. Fingers crossed. In the meantime, we should all be buying books directing from small press websites!

It was an honor to publish this great work!
The lovely @arrowsmithpress published my fiction piece “Rosie the Riveter’s Résumé.” I’m so grateful especially for @FultonWrites's generous introduction. You can read the whole piece here:

Really sad and distressing to an entire industry and so many valuable publishers and authors.
Uhh
ALT is with great sadness and a profound gratitude for the amazing literary community we have served that we must today announce that Small Press Distribution (SPD) is closing its doors, after more than five decades of distributing books for hundreds of independent publishers of small press literature and bringing thousands of writers to market. We know this news is both sudden and devastating. SPD’s closure is effective immediately. Years of declining sales and the loss of institutional support from almost every foundation that annually supported SPD have combined to squeeze our budget beyond the breaking point. This is despite the tireless efforts of a world-class nonprofit staff to raise new funds, find new sales channels for our presses, and exit our expensive Berkeley warehouse. SPD lost $125,000 in grants over the past year from institutions that supported us historically. SPD exhausted every avenue in seeking emergency funding and loans to avoid the shutdown.

Hollows is officially 2 years old! Thank you to everyone that bought a copy, read it, reviewed, supported it through podcast and interviews! You’re all a part of this writer’s dream! @altcurrent
Went out to see the marvelous and brilliant @MargotLivesey at Wellesley Books last night. What a treat. Can't wait to read this! Congratulations, Margot!
“I wanted to write a novel that was set in the 1880s but that wasn’t a ‘historical novel.’” In today’s #TenQuestions, @MargotLivesey discusses her new book, out now from @AAKnopf: at.pw.org/10Q4Livesey
It was wonderful being in conversation with Laird Hunt and so glad to see this brilliant book is getting the praise it deserves!
“Laird Hunt’s portrait of seemingly ordinary lives in Reagan-era Indiana is a timely refresher on human decency."
Thrilled to see this brilliant review of @LairdHunt Float Up, Sing Down in the @FT. Publishing next Tuesday!

Thanks @MargotLivesey!

Honored to be a NEA 2024 Creative Writing Fellow (thanks @NEAarts), along with a former student (congrats @SecretIcterid)! This was for the title story from my new book THE FLOUNDER. Thanks @BlackwaterPress and @Missouri_Review for your work on this story.
And here’s a passage to give you an idea of how good Spark is. Bring back your high school chemistry class days?
First time reading this one but won’t be the last. A hilarious dark and nearly perfect short novel about a teacher and her students. Beautiful and arch!

Check out the brilliant podcast @ShortStoryToday. Today's episode features my interview and a reading of my story "Smoke at the End of the World." I so enjoyed talking with Jon DiSavino, who had such smart questions, and his reading of my story (at the 48-minute mark) is perfect.
THIS WEEK! We celebrate South Carolina author Dustin M. Hoffman ("a Sherwood Anderson for our time" - Seth Fried)! With three collections already in print, his eagerly-awaited new collection SUCH A GOOD MAN (Univ of Wisconsin Press) is soon to follow. shortstorytoday.com
My new story collection THE FLOUNDER (@BlackwaterPress) is again on the @spdbooks fiction bestseller list. This makes six months in a row. Thank you readers! A shout out to @ShubhaSunder and @R_Turkewitz whose books are also here and among my favorite reads of 2023.
