Goodbye, creepy house that I hate! Heading to #bluesky #blueskysocial 🦋

Can there be a standardized way to start emails that quickly expresses "the world is a darker place since we last corresponded & I hope you're as well as can be expected"... or like what if we just replace "I hope this finds you well" with "I hope, etc."

A quick craft study on how to create a world that "feels" speculative from the first page, even before anything decidedly otherworldly has happened. Really grateful to @CraftLiterary for giving this piece a home! craftliterary.com/2024/09/25/spe…

This piece in @CraftLiterary by @devonrhalliday about how language telegraphs genre is great. Even though it's something you already know, it's cool to see it deconstructed like this. I'll be thinking about it when I pick up my next sci-fi read. craftliterary.com/2024/09/25/spe…

Thrilled beyond tweets to see this story published by the staggeringly cool @onestorymag... now I know how poets feel when they hold their own chapbook! This was one of my thesis stories at @WarrenWilsonMFA and I'm feeling grateful on all fronts today for all my patient editors

🎉 We are happy to announce the July 2024 graduating class of the MFA Program for Writers at Warren Wilson College. 🎉 Please join us in congratulating our newest alumni! #wwcmfa #warrenwilsonmfa

See what @devonrhalliday is working on and what she loves about the program.

Do you ever get the sense that a certain lit journal just hates you and your work? The form rejections are the same as ever, and yet somehow there's an evolution in tone... "we hope that you continue to keep us in mind" said through gritted teeth #amwriting #justwriterthings

Workshop feedback on this story was: more goats. So I added more goats. Really proud & psyched to see this strange nostalgic anxious little story appear in @SouthernHReview! southernhumanitiesreview.com/fiction-featur…

Read our new online fiction feature "If This Reaches You" by @devonrhalliday "Now it is Thursday, and has been for a long time." southernhumanitiesreview.com/fiction-featur… #fiction #litmagazine #writingcommunity

Someday, someday, technology will reach the point of creating a printer that is regularly able to print documents

We can't wait for you to join us tonight and tomorrow at our ISSUE 49 READING -- we begin today with poetry and tomorrow our prose reading. See you soon💫

I'm lucky to have 2 pieces coming out this month, both on the subject of unsettling obsessions: flash fiction in @FenceBooks this week, and a short story in @adroitjournal next week!

We're so excited to announce our 2024 Djanikian and Veasna So Scholars!💫

New story about robots & donuts is up now at @TriQuarterlyMag! Resemblance to customer service jobs living or dead is purely coincidental, etc triquarterly.org/issues/issue-1… #robots #donuts

🚨 New 🚨 issue 🚨 alert!! As they told us in elementary school, drop everything and read: triquarterly.org/issues/issue-1…

News! Working on a short story collection this summer at @VCCA as a #vccafellow. Turning these stories into a manuscript feels kind of like sitting on an overpacked suitcase trying to jam the zipper closed

Excited to see my short story "OptiDream" go up @thenormalschool! For anyone who has ever looked at NYC subway ads and felt despair at tech's ceaseless & holistic quest for optimization thenormalschool.com/blog/2022/12/7…
