I'm going to do a quick year-end freelancing thread! It's a shorter one this year: Finding the right writing/teaching/toddler parenting balance has taken a bit of time, but I've finally found my footing (as much as anyone can). And I had the pleasure of working on some great assignments. - ThreadSky

I began contributing to @washingtonpost.com's fabulous BookWorld section. For my first piece, I reviewed Hannah Regel's debut novel, The Last Sane Woman:

I had the honor of contributing to @somers.bsky.social's brilliant project, Still Alive Magazine. I wrote about Kinky Friedman (no longer still alive), and my childish investment in the goodness of famous strangers:

My next piece for @washingtonpost.com's BookWorld was really special. I wrote about Jamie Quatro's Two-Step Devil, which gave me the occasion to consider her body of work, and the way she brings the flesh to the page:

All the while, I'd been working on this longer piece for @thenation.com's Books & The Arts on Albe de Céspedes's vigorous feminist polemic, Her Side of the Story. I especially hope you'll give this one a read.

Finally, I made my debut in @theatlantic.com with a review of Cho Nam-Joo's short story collection, Miss Kim Knows. In it, I argue that the best feminist writing knows how to grapple with the tension between the universal and the specific.

That's it for this year. I've been so fortunate in my assignments and my editors, and I'm excited for the projects I've got on my plate for early winter 2025. Thank you to everyone who reads and shares my work, and if you're an editor who might like to work together, please get in touch!
