Had the ultimate pleasure of introducing John Lewis Writing Grant winners Michaeljulius Y. Idani (fiction) Michaeljulius Y. Idani Josina Guess (nonfiction) Josina Guess and poet Samantha Williams. With Garrard Conley Georgia Writers Red Clay Writers Conference

Wow, we cannot believe it is the end of the Red Clay Writers Conference. We were lucky to meet so many amazing people and see how big and beautiful the Georgia Writing Community can be!!!

Finally, and most importantly, a special thank you to each and every person who attended our conference! You are the reason our community is so strong! Please continue to post about your experience with #RedClay2023 and we can't wait to see you again next year!!!

So great to have Boy Erased author Garrard Conley on campus today, showing Emerson College how our stories can change the world. (For instance, since his memoir was published in 2016, half the states have banned “conversion” therapy; you can probably guess which ones haven’t).

After speaking out as a survivor of conversion therapy for ~a decade, I'm thrilled to write the foreword to what will no doubt be an amazing collection of diverse survivors' stories. Please, if you're a storyteller and a survivor, consider sending your work to (The Lesser Known) Luke Wilson 1/2

Details: ~2,000-3,000 words; submission by July 15 (may be flexible); reach out to [email protected] with any questions. Full description below:

The world is dark right now for LGBTQ people, and so much of what we've gained risks being lost. Let's continue to tell our stories and lift these voices.

A friend just let me know BOY ERASED is in Heartstopper season 2 on Netflix. This is adorable. Tomorrow I get to reveal some fun stuff re my new novel, which I hope some prestige drama will feature in about three years 🤞 😹

Absolutely love the cover!!!

Comes out Friday! Woohoo instagram.com/p/CxbZefNSzzA/…

I've had the privilege of teaching at Fine Arts Work Center each summer for the past half decade, and these are by far my favorite micro-classes. We come in with a beginner's mindset and end up filled with inspiration. Register at facw.org/summer. Scholarships are available!

I finally came out as a Christian* lol Loved speaking about queerness and religion and ALL THE WORLD BESIDE for The New York Times. Happy to be in the company of these excellent novelists. Link to the full piece: bit.ly/4azHc2N *sort of

Very excited to be writing the foreword to this important collection of survivors' stories.

BREAKING: In a stunning new leak, JD Vance completely endorses Project 2025. Donald Trump can’t run from this now. Retweet so all Americans see this.

what I am hearing is everyone is going to retweet and share the word about our event with Garrard Conley and Peter Kispert because the graphics I made are so impressive #GraphicDesignIsMyPassion (March 25th at 7pm)
