In THE SPACE POET (@splitlippress), Samantha Edmonds “tells the story of an artist ... sent by NASA to the International Space Station on a mission to make the stars accessible to those left on the ground.” Hybrid prose & poetry from our #PrideMonth list: bookshop.org/p/books/the-sp…

Thrilled to announce that my debut collection, A PREPONDARANCE OF STARRY BEINGS, which tells stories about outer space & our hopeful broken place in it, has been sold to @marisasaystweet with TriQuarterly Books! This is like a dream. ✨💫✨

and there’s a typo in the title, so this book business is off to a great start 😉☠️🙃

just sat here thinking about CHINCHILLA and seeing her live on mcfly’s tour a few years ago and that was so cool, can we all just agree to go back??

There is nothing comedic about how this show broke my heart but okay #GoodOmens #GoodOmens2

Does anyone else confuse Keanu Reeves and John Cusack or is that just me?

I’ve heard this before, and I agree. I tend to overwrite—the first draft of my WIP was 120k—and with each pass I make through the ms, it gets shorter (I just got it to 97k words this morning, with still more to lose) AND stronger. It’s a better book for losing the fluff.

come see me & Mark Twain at the The Missouri Review table from 9-11 today!! We have swag, AWP Bingo cards, and lots of information about the mizzou phd program in creative writing! Table 1232!

Do you like gay space shit? Ever had a breakup so bad you wanted to flee the earth? Did you miss out on getting a copy of THE SPACE POET at AWP this year? (It sold out for the third year in a row!) you can still order it online direct from SLP’s website: splitlippress.com/the-space-poet

I'm gathering resources to include with the promotional materials for my forthcoming story collection. Anyone out there connected with journals that do book reviews? (This is all hypothetical at the moment: I'm just gathering a list of names and places.)

I’m doing moderator prep for an RPG panel for the Unbound Book Festival festival this Saturday and also planning my first ever D&D campaign as the DM, and truly it’s the best intersection of art & life I’ve ever experienced.

some of y’all have never heard energy goes where attention flows and guess what? it shows

okay but why does my dog sing better than I do

Thrilled to have an installment of "If My Book" up on Monkeybicycle today, comparing my book to things you might expect: mirrors, planets, birds. And also those less expected: conspiracy theorists, adrelanine junkies, astronomy students.
