Thrilled to have an installment of "If My Book" up on Monkeybicycle today, comparing my book to things you might expect: mirrors, planets, birds. And also those less expected: conspiracy theorists, adrelanine junkies, astronomy students.

I’m doing moderator prep for an RPG panel for the @UnboundBookFest festival this Saturday and also planning my first ever D&D campaign as the DM, and truly it’s the best intersection of art & life I’ve ever experienced.

I'm gathering resources to include with the promotional materials for my forthcoming story collection. Anyone out there connected with journals that do book reviews? (This is all hypothetical at the moment: I'm just gathering a list of names and places.)

Do you like gay space shit? Ever had a breakup so bad you wanted to flee the earth? Did you miss out on getting a copy of THE SPACE POET at AWP this year? (It sold out for the third year in a row!) you can still order it online direct from SLP’s website: splitlippress.com/the-space-poet

I’ve heard this before, and I agree. I tend to overwrite—the first draft of my WIP was 120k—and with each pass I make through the ms, it gets shorter (I just got it to 97k words this morning, with still more to lose) AND stronger. It’s a better book for losing the fluff.

#WritingCommunity folks, I’ve been seeing quite a few queries w/ MS word counts that are way too long for traditional publication consideration. It’s so hard to sell a book to a publisher to begin with, but it’s even more challenging to sell books over 100K. Here’s why: a thread.

Does anyone else confuse Keanu Reeves and John Cusack or is that just me?
