@likaluca They have taken over Brooklyn.

@ShandersWrites So so happy about this. Congratulations!!

*deep breath* Today is the day! After years of writing and revising, many lovely workshops, a little bit of rewriting, and so much else, I finally get to send Company out into the world. I am so proud of this book and so excited to share it.

@ShandersWrites @stephenfishbach Amazing!

Company comes out a month from today. Just want to take this moment to say that if neither MFA nor NYC is your thing, there’s always BIC (butt in chair) and you can do it from anywhere. Also, please preorder!! amazon.com/Company-Storie…

@papiwhathappen @patrickryannyc Such great news!! Congratulations!!

Twenty years ago I started this thing with @hannahtinti (and @devinemke). What a run its been.

@hannahtinti @onestorymag @hodgman Woah is for knowing where these photos lived in our office.

@mbatcha @onestorymag Baby me, holding up @onestorymag's first issue "Villanova, or How I Became a Former Professional Literary Agent" by @hodgman at our launch at the Cutting Room, NYC, April 1, 2002.

20 years ago @mbatcha & I threw a party in a bar in NYC to launch our tiny zine. The people who came filled out cards & became @onestorymag's first subscribers. Thanks to everyone who took a chance on us, especially these amazing writers who trusted us with their words. 💕✨🥂
