Some news: My debut novel about girlhood, sports, religion & turtles (yes, really) is forthcoming from @BellePointPress in 2025! Lots more to say in the coming months, but for now I just want to thank @CasieDodd for giving The Diamondbacks a wonderful home.

Grateful to see my debut novel included on Edelweiss's recent "Small Presses, Big Titles: Fiction & Poetry" list! I did a double take when I spotted it alongside the likes of Michael Martone and Lily King. edelweiss.plus/#catalogID=52…

I missed this when it released last year, but I'm so glad it finally found me: @imaginationASU's workbook for rewilding our imaginations. I know X is mostly a void now, but I'm sharing the link Voyager Golden Record-style. If it finds you, hello. csi.asu.edu/books/rewildedmi…

One of the greats. RIP, Margaret. We won't forget.
We are sorry to hear of the passing of @UWMadison alum Margaret Rossiter, who coined the term “The Matilda Effect” to describe historians’ tendency to attribute the work of women scientists to their male colleagues.

Heard today that Margaret Rossiter died earlier this month. She coined the term "The Matilda Effect" to describe the common occurrence of scientific breakthroughs by women getting attributed to male colleagues instead. RIP, Margaret. onwisconsin.uwalumni.com/the…

Please head over to Reckon to read this essay by our columnist Barlow Adams. It was exactly what I (Meg) needed to read today. Maybe you, too?

HITD came out nearly 2 yrs ago, & to see it still find readers who see what I'm trying to do so clearly is a joy. Not despair but defiance.
Also, like I'm not gonna have 'intensity of a preacher, precision of a surgeon' tattooed.

Occasional reminder that if you’re publishing with a small press, one effective investment in promotion is to talk up other authors from the same house. They’re likely to reciprocate, your publisher will be excited, and the generation of collegial buzz is broadly beneficial.
