@dan_hoyt @WichitaState @darren_defrain @jquinnmalott @tay_shae7 Thanks so much for visiting! So great to meet you and to hear you read!

One of my talented MFA students at Wichita State emailed to tell me he just got his story accepted for publication, a story that I worked on with him. I can't think of a better message or nicer mood boost today. Students, tell your teachers your good news. We love to hear it! 😀

@OxbloodJunction Sure, send me a private message and ask away!

@JasonAllenBooks Howdy! I'm looking into WSU's Creative Writing MFA program - would you be open to some questions about your time teaching there?

@grimmlit It's so nice to see this! I sent you a letter last week. 😊

After a long hiatus, I’m opening to query letters on Query Manager: QueryManager.com/KGRIMM. If you queried me in the last year or so, please do send again. Hungry for (🧵time):

Thought I’d share some happy writing news alongside this photo of Luna 😊: After years of work on my memoir, I’m going to finish it this week! Can’t wait for this labor of love and pain to make it to the world, and maybe for it to even help someone. ❤️

Thanks to the kind folks at Wichita State University and the Ulrich Museum of Art for hosting my reading last night, and to @watermarkbooks, Wichita's fantastic independent bookstore, for selling paperback copies of The East End!
