Readings 📖
Host or reader, fiction or non-fiction. I have a memoir coming out in 2027 about New Age cults and skepticism, but I also have plenty of short stories I’d love to read. I’ve hosted many readings through my writing retreat, Desert Salon.

Perfume samples in magazines were enemy number one in my house—I can definitely relate to all of this.
And I agree with your other comment, a lot has changed over the years to accommodate people with sensitivities. Hopefully that can continue to improve!

I failed to mention: I won that battle and reached out to Kaleb. He was interested, but busy with another project.
But the other commissioning editor, my good pal @josephbienkahn.com, was the real winner because he eventually got to edit Kaleb on this piece: www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

We essentially did a roshambo to determine who got to reach out to him. How often do you see folks fighting over who gets to reach out to a writer? That was the power of his storytelling.
My deepest condolences to his family and friends ❤️
