Honoured to have a story in JOURNEY, a celebration of the many years of the Journey Prize. Mega thanks to Souvankham Thammavonga and Alexander MacLeod for selecting these tales, and to @AnitaChong9 and @McClellandBooks. You are the best. #AmWriting #ShortStories #Fiction #BookTwt

My new novel, COUNTY ROAD SIX, will be published by Bond Street Books/@Doubledayca early in 2026. Edited by the mighty Janie Yoon. Huge thanks to Cherie Dimaline, @caseyplett, & @waub for early endorsements. & @DLCooke & @roneckel for making it happen. Believe in your dreams...

I don’t have a fancy graphic but I do have stickers, a Playmobil manatee, and okay handwriting! I’m so grateful to all these festivals for having me, and I can’t wait to meet you all!!

@amylaurajones birthday time is over now. GET HIM, JOJO.

It’s my husband’s birthday, so as a gift I promise not to roast him on Twitter for 1 (one) day

I found the work of Cormac McCarthy at 23 years old when a professor at Cardiff turned me to it. Those books forever changed the way I wrote prose, word for word & line for line. Little else in fiction has ever grabbed hold of me as hard. So long, CM. nytimes.com/2023/06/14/boo…

this tweet from Waub will certainly be the most widely read work that includes any words I've ever wrote or said, probably ever... congratulations, buddy. you are the champion. #dreambig #pegacornflight

I AM SO EXCITED! Look at this lineup how did I get here

Waub is right on. Shelagh Rogers is one of the kindest and most generous people to ever support emerging writers and new voices in this thing we call #CanLit. she is truly amazing. and even got something intelligible out of me before 10am. much love and deep respect. ❤️📚

get ye all to the Hamilton launch of @AFSulli's long-awaited novel, THE MARIGOLD, which is getting rave reviews all across the land. also, hit your local indie & buy the book now. it'll bend your brains like all good Sullivan tales... #amreading #canlit #fiction #booktwitter

last week I was lucky enough to be part of a magical, witchy launch at Culture Coven in Midland, celebrating Cherie Dimaline's latest novel, VENCO. as someone who roamed Simcoe County for many years, it's truly heartening to see real storytelling encouraged in that place...🐈‍⬛📚

City Council should tear up Tory’s budget, open up 24/7 warming centres immediately and declare homelessness a humanitarian crisis. It's time to go way beyond plugging potholes and start permanently fixing Toronto’s structural problems.

@KrisBertin I am in a constant poom

everyone get your buttfaces out to the TO launch of @lizharmer's new novel, STRANGE LOOPS. this evening at @flyingbooks_to. it will make you a better person and really good at pickleball. trust me. I'm a scientician... #CanLit #Toronto #AmReading flyingbooks.ca/events/strange…

@KrisBertin you deserve this

So excited for #CanadaReads! Especially thrilled to see Michael Christie’s spectacular GREENWOOD on the shortlist! 💚💚💚
