Danielle Barr

A year ago today I finished my first novel. Today, I signed a contract with my dream literary agent. I am so excited to share that my work is now represented by @IrisBlasi of Arc Literary Management. I can’t wait for all that is to come with her in my corner!

This is important to me

@ZTFairfax Like what were the chances they’d both hit my inbox at the same minute?

@dbarrwrites this same thing happened to me today and the SubWay email was such a dissappointment

The duality of man

CHINCHILLA: I mean think about the moon, it’s fuckin huge Me: 🙂‍↕️

You should check out my horny tennis flash and also all the other smutty stuff in this year’s HORNS

A perfect flash

I’m in awe of the courage of these athletes using their moment to speak up about what’s happening in the US. My voice shakes setting a boundary with my mother, and they’re out here on the world stage knowing what backlash will come. True patriotism. May we all be so brave.

The full court camera angle of The Transylvania open is about to make me crash out

I finally started writing again and have been cranking out some real weird shit and I’m in a strange sort of place because I genuinely can’t tell if it’s terrible??? Like I can’t really tell the difference? So that’s neat.

QUARTERFINAL #AO26 (THIS ONE HURTS)

HORNS 5: 56 pages. out 2/13.

MAGA is full of people with "don't tread on me" bumper stickers who think federal agents should be allowed to gun people down in the streets because they feel like it.

Pop Tarts Bowl is our favorite day of the year. We bought four boxes. My children are vibrating from sugar. We hate both teams but you could not tear me away from this game for anything.

@JJ9828 You could go with the crazy deep Appalachian memaw names. Arthona, Dovie, Virgie..

I need a female name that sounds nice with Treadwell for my Appalachian magical realism novel. Holler at me.

More or less how my most recent novel begins 😅

@DiscussingFilm .@ZTFairfax excuse meeee

First look at ‘BUDDY’, a new horror movie starring Cristin Milioti, Topher Grace and Michael Shannon. The film follows a girl and her friends who must escape a demented kids TV show.
