I am always happy to share my experiences with other writers! I have learned so much from other people going through this process before and with me. (A wee correction to the original post: I still don't have an agent, but my first novel is coming out in March nonetheless!)

We're proud to once again partner with @omiamifestival and The Betsy Hotel for the 2025 Derricotte/Eady Prize! The Prize is awarded annually to support one poet's chapbook manuscript. Applications are open now and close November 6th at 11:59 PM ET bit.ly/25-derricotte-…

My newest novel is basically Romeo & Juliet, but with old ladies in space. (Galactic lesbians FTW!) And BIG NEWS: I just signed with the inimitable literary agent @NaomisLitPix to help me boost this little ship on its way! I can't wait to share the novel with you. Stay tuned!

The Cave Canem Fellowship nurtures the next generation of poetic innovators, building community and helping to fully realize visions of what the literary field could look like when we support Black poets. 2025 apps close Oct 15 at 11:59 PM ET. 🔗 cavecanem.submittable.com/submit
