@mstiefvater This is so fabulous!

For the next five weeks, I’ll be running a readalong of my latest novel, THE LISTENERS, with twin reader-track and writer-track discussions. There will be spoilery conversations! Swag! Asynchronous chatter! It will all be hidden away under the paywall so it’ll be hopefully full of the nuanced and crunchy conversations possible when you’re in closed-door, moderated room. Either the US or the UK edition of THE LISTENERS will work for this. Technically, it’s free to attend, but practically, you’ll need to be able to get behind my paywall to see the posts, so if you’re not already a paid subscriber and want in, feel free to subscribe for just a month and then immediately unsubscribe; you won’t hurt my feelings. maggiestiefvater.substack.com/p/the-listener…

Today, for the first time, I walked into a major retailer and picked up something I wrote. This is my local @barnesandnoble where I practically grew up. I’m thankful to the amazing editors at @frictionseries for making this moment possible. Dreams do come true. #amquerying

@CarrieLeeSouth @barnesandnoble @FrictionSeries So stoked to see your work on shelves! Thanks for sending us such an amazing piece!

@YMPangWriter So excited to have this gorgeous story in our pages! I adored it even halfway through reading the pitch!

My story “The Last Fugu House of Shimonoseki” will be available in this issue. Featuring an aging fugu (pufferfish) chef grappling with the effects of VR and the last days of her profession.

HUGE thank you to both @mstiefvater and @hollyblack for helping this gorgeous story come to life! Pardon the pun, but it was a dream come true to edit, art direct, and publish alongside the @FrictionSeries team!

Support a great nonprofit and check out the TRC short story I've got in F(riction)'s Dreams issue, out now (yes, I know no one expected any more TRC content from me but @hollyblack tricked me into writing some dream content for a good cause, like the fey creature she is).

Cheers for sharing, @MargaretAtwood! It was a joy to work on this comic with Juaquin, @AmalasRosa, and @ArtOfEdge for the Unseen issue of @FrictionSeries. Thank you all for making this incredible memoir possible!

. @FrictionSeries made a tarot card of me!

@leverus @FrictionSeries So happy you like it, Lev! It was so fun to take all your hobbies and interests and amazing Lev-ness and turn it into a card!

@wthcoffeespoons @FrictionSeries Our pleasure! I absolutely love that story and I had such a blast working with @knifesystem on the art!

This is easiest the prettiest lit journal I’ve ever been honored to have my words in. Also to be on the same TOC as Rebecca Roanhorse and Holly Black is a dream. Thank you @frictionseries for accepting my little magician story, and @dmhedlund for being an amazing editor.

@woodardwriter @MelissaBowers_ @qiorno @EvanJamesSheld1 @FrictionSeries Awe, you’re so sweet! It’s a joy to pair art with gorgeous stories!

Pre-order our limited edition THE LITERARY #TAROT while supplies last! 78 #authors and 5 #artists worked with us to create an #arcana based on classic stories. All proceeds support our nonprofit mission to increase #literacy, and nurture emerging voices! ow.ly/bYRb50Nka4P

@MikeRaicht Oh man, that looks INCREDIBLE!

And here is a page from Hopeless! More to this book than meets the eye. Think Night of the Living Dead mixed a bit with The Thing.
