I gave a reading last night at the always-wonderful @hubcitypress.bsky.social bookstore in downtown Spartanburg, SC. So. Much. Fun. One of the best parts was when Zora, the resident feline bookstore associate, got up in my lap during the reading to get a better look at some of my line breaks.

The world is crumbling but we must go on. Agents + writers: I may be looking for one more southern nonfiction project for fall 2026. Literary nonfiction, essays, and cultural criticism highly welcomed. Anthology projects need a short proposal + list of confirmed contribs. DMs are open for pitches.

Writers: come to this if you want to understand book contracts, subsidiary rights (foreign, audio, serial, dramatic, etc!), how to talk to your agent or publisher about them, and how to revert them from a publisher who's holding onto them. This will be recorded + sent to participants the day after!
