If anyone from our literary hub of yore is here, I've got a crowd-sourcing question: quality magazines with more generous acceptance rates for those who are just starting out in cnf? (Listen, I advise patience & practice, but some are just so eager to get out there.)

With excitement & endless gratitude to the brilliant, patient, & generous editors The Rumpus (looking at you, Darcy Jay Gagnon), I bring you: spiders in space! I will happily be receiving all y'all's falling Skylab memories.

"Beginning when I was a child, adults—often complete strangers—sought me out in quiet corners to tell me things I probably had no business hearing. My husband, Mark, calls this 'the Christman mystique.'” My newest essay--"Spinning Webs in Space"--up now The Rumpus 🕷️ 🕸️ 🛰️🪐☄️

With huge help from Geoffrey S. Mearns, Ball State CSH, our generous donors, & ongoing, exuberant support from Ball State alum Ashley C. Ford, we have given away over 1,000 books to kids in Muncie. I could not be more proud of this program.

If you know me, you know I love a theme. And Iron Horse. Submit!

Thanks for the shout out, AWP! 13 more days until the October 31st deadline. Spooky. 👻🧙‍♀️🎃

We're so proud to publish this micro essay, Elaine. We think you tied everything together so beautifully. 😉

Ashley, you know this is all an elaborate excuse to get to hang out with you every year, right? 😉 Seriously: together, we gave away almost 1,200 books to Muncie kids this year. This idea we had? It's WORKING.📚💕

In my new essay "Spinning Webs in Space"--up now The Rumpus--I grapple with some trauma, but also? Black holes. And that ain't easy: "Nothingness. It’s a hard place to find."

Early voting in Muncie, Indiana. This was the bright spot.
