Submit to our lit mag, we're open for the first time in forever, we pay $150 for Art that references Taco Bell. We're more prestigious than the Paris Review which no one has even heard of.

I'm elated to share that my debut poetry collection, RUNG BY RUNG, has been accepted by @cavankerrypress.bsky.social! It will be released in Spring 2027, and I couldn't be happier.

TBQ is open! Y'all are bringing it so far. We've received around 200 pieces overnight and I've read about 20 of them so far and already marked five as intrigued! Live más. Send us something. We now pay $150. I'm certain it will slow down but try to get your piece in by the next two weeks lol

I had a wonderful time celebrating one my writing mentors, the great Cathy Hankla at the Appalachian Studies Conference in Cookeville last weekend.

Apparently I've helped train AI and all I have to show for it is one contributor copy of Pleiades.
