Looking for writing community and feedback on your work this July?

Apply to Napa Valley Writers' Conference by April 21! Fiction, poetry, and translation.

A third of conference participants will get scholarship assistance this year 👀

Part of my advocacy for not surrendering is sustaining, which involves taking breaks, pleasure, and beauty. See you in the streets (and these ancients producing brand new acorns and leaves on the trails).

Not really the most urgent errand in the world and yet... I must ask, does anyone know of a good craft essay about transitions in fiction?

There are so many people we need to stand up for right now. Thanks to all of you who are calling their reps, protesting, donating, and taking action. Here is a great trans rights organization that I've been donating to. If you have others you love, share below! southernequality.org/tyep/

We are the Literary World's Prestigious Taco Bell Quarterly. We're also some trans and nonbinary guys. A reminder that you exist, you're beautiful, you're a writer, and you and your work are important. Live más.

Sunday, I'm doing a FREE online overview of publishing--everything writers need to know--and you should be there! It's also an intro to our monthlong Pub Crawl program (publishing education online all Feb), but you don't have to be doing Pub Crawl to come to this! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Hey, registration is open for this super cool writers' conference in Homer, Alaska. Don't miss out. Space is limited.

Two books that will help you in this time. Leslie Marmon Silko’s Ceremony and Ursula LeGuin’s The World for World is Forest. They will encourage to to expand your hearts into new possibilities that engender courage in you rather than fear. Women and some men know reality is larger than we pretend.

Damn, California sues Exxon, Chevron, Shell, BP, ConocoPhillips and American Petroleum Institute for their decades of climate deception and damages.

*One-in-four* Americans are now represented in climate accountability lawsuits, says Fossil Free Media's Jamie Henn. www.nytimes.com/2023/09/15/b...
