Here are my #AWP2026 events!

@reflectramble Thank you! I love it too! :)

@Jpullen19 That cover 😍

Pub day for Beastly has arrived!!

@MeerkatPress Thank you so much!

congrats!!

@ForestAvePress @JoyBaglio Thank you, we are very excited!!

@Jpullen19 @JoyBaglio What a lineup!

Hello folks! Are you going to #AWP26 in Baltimore? If you are, please come to the offsite reading that I am coordinating with @JoyBaglio. We are both also reading, alongside some incredibly cool folks including Sequoia Nagamatsu and Carmen Maria Machado!

My anthology of shapeshifter fairy tales comes out in 8 days. I'm so proud of this book from @LFPbooks, it was a blast to write the informative, wild, & weird footnotes for each story! You can order it online, your local bookstore, & get it at #AWP26 #books

@ElishaAWrites Agreed! I think she's a genius.

I'm currently obsessed with Robin Hobb. Quite frankly, I can't understand why her books arent as well known as the other masters of fantasy. While its character driven rather than quest driven, her world is immersive and has come to feel like home. You should read her stuff.

Polaris Literary Magazine, the undergrad journal I advise, is open for submissions until Feb 1st! Tell your students to submit, or if you are an undergrad, you should send us your work! #creativewriting #submissions polarisliterarymagazine.com

Dr. Pullen & her TA Fidil recommend Sinkhole and Other Inexplicable Voids by Leyna Krow. This collection showcases Krow's ability to write stories that are at once eerie, kind, funny, & deeply sad. "Sinkhole" was optioned a few years ago by Jordan Peele. #purrfectreads

My friend Greg Leunig's new book, Neon Citadel, is out from Spaceboy Books! A genre bending blend of sci fi, fantasy & noir, I read it one delighted sitting! readspaceboy.com

@Spencealot I'm so glad to hear that!

@Jpullen19 I've been researching and writing about AI and pedagogy to try to represent my own screams into the void.

I feel like I'm screaming into a void about AI and pedagogy. "Writing" a story with AI is no more a sign of knowing how to craft fiction than microwaving a Hot Pocket means I know how to cook.

Hugs from Fidil. I think we all need it.

Hello fellow university profs! Does your department need a visiting writer to give a reading? Or a contest judge? I edited an anthology of shapeshifter fairy tales for Lanternfish press (out in Feb) & of my textbook & chapbook are already out! I promise I'm an excellent visitor!
