i don’t know what to tell you guys if you genuinely still believe in ‘fuck you, you have no choice’ as electoral messaging except that it sounds like you’ve got it figured out and you don’t need my vote!

I'm curating this books reviews series in conjunction with @maris.bsky.social for @literaryhub.bsky.social ...

Everything we're soliciting is here on this page ...

Deadline approaching! I’m working on an exciting book reviews-related project in collaboration with Maris Kreizman for Lit Hub. We’ve got two calls out, basically: For readers / authors: We’re interested in receiving recommendations of books written by a trans and queer people that were overlooked by the NYT book review between ~2013 - 2022 (under Pamela Paul’s leadership). If you are an author and your own book was overlooked, feel free to write me (or let me know on Bluesky). If you are a reader and you want to recommend a queer- or trans-authored book you adore that again the NYT did not review when it was released during this time-frame, again please feel free to let me know (again here or on bsky). If you’re a book reviewer and you want to pitch a book you’d potentially review for the aforementioned series, please pitch me via my contact form. To potential book reviewers: We have set a September 1 deadline. Again, we’re focused on books authored by trans/queer people that were published between 2013 - 2022 and that weren’t reviewed by the NYT under Paul (and conceivably should have been, a subjective standard, for sure, which we’ll figure out). Please don’t recommend books that don’t meet these criteria. In your pitch: Send a paragraph or two explaining why you’d want to review this book in particular (please don’t send much shorter nor much longer; I’d also probably prefer you pitch one book over two or several). Please share a brief bio for yourself and a website, if you have one. Please also include one or two of your best clips, ideally previously published book reviews. Again: Pitch via my contact form. For reviewers, this is a paid opportunity. (I’m just coordinating on behalf of the publication; which has said $250 per ~800 - 1000 word review. We may have some flexibility there, depending on what we all ultimately decide.) We will discuss further specifics with those who we follow up with. Figure you most likely won’t hear from us under at least a few …
