This is so great, thanks for sharing!

I loved this book - congrats!

Hooray and congratulations!!! We are all so lucky to be able to read it - I can’t wait.

Have you read Birnham Wood? It does exactly this with the ecothriller form!

Also I developed a set of rituals for when rejections of various scales come in so that at least I know I get some treats and how I will handle the horrible horrible rejection feelings. It truly sucks but structures and nice things can help!

I once saw a fiction writer say that their job was to collect rejections, because that’s the sign that you’re sending stuff out, which is the part of the process that you can control. That really stuck with me and helped me move through this exact paralysis!

I’m a dry town but there’s an Ottolenghi cauliflower cake in the oven that I spent an impractical amount of time on. And a non alcoholic cocktail with my name on it!

Philly! Although I don’t know for how much longer.

Haha ilu Jeff but these documents stopped having any affective charge about three weeks of pdf-compiling ago

Ooh yes great idea - I have been really wanting some zip-up hitops, and a person who has submitted their tenure file should not have to work so hard to get their sneakers on!

Ah yes…welcome!

I’m not an early Americanist but everything I’ve ever read by Ana Schwartz has been incredible!

DMed you over there!

Right? That has to be a performance de-enhancer
