It's been a mixed bag 🙃

"I could tell my brain to lift my arm, but it won't do that. It's random; sometimes it listens, and sometimes it doesn't," @ShahdAlshammari tells her coach before her first squash lesson. Excerpt from CONFETTI AND ASHES. Released in April 2025! sportstoriespress.com/notebook/excer…

I'm attempting to swim 40 miles between July 4 and my 40th birthday 🎉 on August 3. I've swum about 10 miles so far 🏊‍♀️ I don't think I've swum this much in 1 week since college (where I swam a lot more than that!).

First open water swim of the season 🏊‍♀️ I got tangled and almost drowned in lake weed 🌿 Also, I got out of the water with a dirt beard 🧔‍♂️ So, a pretty successful swim by all measures.

@TBQuarterly My new mantra! “No one is going to read it”!Liberating!

Everything sucks in the lit world as usual, but that's also why it's kind of fun right now. no one is going to read it, do whatever you want. Anybody can become a literary sensation when none of it is real. Live más

What we're reading now: THE LONGEST RACE by @karagoucher. And we've read all of these other runners' memoirs! What's your favorite? Which ones are we missing?

Switzer didn't just advocate for elite and Olympic running; she sought to create an inclusive running environment for all levels of women runners. Kind of makes me want to train for and run another marathon. Maybe. Some day. [From @GreenMachine459] (7/7)

We're considering our next sports book to review. What should we read? @coachhousebooks @Cuidono

2023 was a challenging year and we didn't meet most of our publishing goals. We did, however, meet a few amazing sportswomen who shared their stories with us, we reviewed a few excellent sports books, and we're feeling optimistic for more growth in 2024 🎉
