In Memory of Matt Mason
I first met Matt Mason in the fall of 2024. At the time, we had an ezine called A Bite of Pride, and he had applied to be a staff writer. Since we were both on the asexual spectrum and emphasized how horror can be healing and cathartic, we hit it off immediately! Since then, even when we dissolved our ezine and staff writers, Matt Mason was such a wonderful friend and support.

Publishers Weekly is still doubling down on this awful AI workshop. Keep the emails and the comments coming. Make sure they know how much we're all against this.
AI isn’t coming to publishing—it’s already here. PW’s new AI for Publishing Bootcamp gives teams the tools and workflows to keep up.

First session is Feb 11. Early Bird pricing is now open.
