I’m stoked my novella will come out this year with Texas Review Press (pre-order info in bio!). To celebrate, I wanted to put together a list of opportunities for anyone else working in this often-overlooked, “middle” genre. Each includes a link where more info on length, style, etc., can be found.

Just a reminder that fascists, authoritarians, dictators of all stripes destroy archives— books, museums, databases, &c— because those things provide windows onto a plurality of other ways we might organize the world.
And so preserving, defending, and spreading that knowledge harms those regimes.

5 yrs ago, I woke w/ a fever, which would hit me on&off for the next 10 days. I used some of that time to finish a draft of my novella (pre-order link in bio) inspired by my teenage years in upstate New York, as well as my experience being a parent during those early days of the pandemic.
