This was brilliant, cannot wait to read Tony Tulathimutte’s new novel REJECTION.

Wrote about learning to view my job as something I do for money, so I can pursue what I actually love outside the confines of capitalism. It feels obvious, but it's a huge shift for some of us—to not equate our identity with our work. open.substack.com/pub/emjsmith/p…

My favorite thing about #1000wordsofsummer is having a set goal to work towards. So much of writing—especially novels—feels completely endless, like you're never doing enough. It's so nice to feel a sense of being "done" each day, knowing you'll be back the next day.

The easiest fact check on trump’s abortion answer is that not one single part of it was true.

ok if you don't live in the US, please turn the debate off. This is our private family humiliation, and we'd all prefer you not stare.

Photo from my editor of new galleys going out today! Release date: Feb 2025!! Cover in the works, pre-sale link coming soon! Years and years of writing and rejection, no formal writing training to speak of—feels totally unreal.

I was born to fight for the "childless cat ladies."

fiona apple released her debut album tidal 28 yrs ago today everyone rightly cites shadowboxer, criminal, sleep to dream,etc—but this song for me (which apple wrote when she was 16 & which actually landed her a record deal at sony) is literally a prayer💫

What if there were vast swaths of human interest and endeavor beyond reproduction and capital accumulation. What if I were neither mommy nor girlboss but a secret third thing.

GALLEYS ARE HERE!!! After a decade of trying and failing and trying again, it feels COMPLETELY unreal to have MY OWN NOVEL IN MY ACTUAL HANDS 🥹🫠🥳 I put my whole self into this book and am out-of-my-mind excited to share it. Please order a copy! ❤️🙏 harpercollins.com/products/nothi…

lol this is news? most ppl who grew up working class can tell you that the arts, in any form, were out of the question.

Isn't she pretty? If it's not clear, the title is a play on the popular dating refrain: "I'm not looking for anything serious..." After a decade on the apps, then creating my own dating app, I turned my most common rejection into my debut title😮 harpercollins.com/products/nothi…

She was shaky at first but she’s realizing how nervous (and incoherent) he is as he answers, she looks relieved.

"Nowhere in America is a woman carrying a pregnancy to term and getting an abortion. That is insulting to the women of America.... what you are putting her through is unconscionable." -- VP Harris

I knew that rally comment was going to make him lose it. She did that on purpose. I approve of this petty.

It's interesting bc Kamala says something coherent, then they let Trump respond, but Trump is only speaking gibberish so they mostly just change the subject... makes sense but he's always left with the last word.

Pinching myself to be likened to writers as monumental as Jen Beagin, Dolly Alderton, and Patricia Lockwood. And huge thanks to “voluntarily rizzless” and Kate Brody for the dream blurbs! Pls consider pre-ordering... out Feb 18 from @williammorrowbook 🙏📚 harpercollins.com/products/nothi…

Happy pub day to this emotionally brutal, oft-disgusting, totally hilarious, and ultimately brilliant work of fiction. The second story, in particular, was almost unfathomably good, and a perfect contrast to the first. Truly fresh and pushing the reader to new places Tony Tulathimutte 👏

Sometimes I just stare at her to remind myself this is really happening... 5 MONTHS until I get to share this creepy, personal, 35 yr-old coming-of-age / dating app takedown / literary suspense story with everyone! 🙈👯‍♀️💗

My novel is on Goodreads! And the initial reviews actually make me happy! 😮 Loved this especially, "The author is a woman in tech! This deserves to be shouted from the rooftops" 💾goodreads.com/book/show/2133…
