Representing @epiphanylit.bsky.social at the One Story Writers' Conference in NYC. Honored to be quoted on their Instagram! Congrats to @onestorymag.bsky.social for organizing an excellent event.

Screenshot of One Story's Instagram post that includes a quote from me, Jeff Bond, Fiction Editor at Epiphany: "Writing and editing aren't generally thought of as visual skills, but in many ways, they are. The way you use white space on the page can invite reader to take a breath, think about what they've just read before plowing forward. Have no white space can be just as effective in asking the reader to bear with you, this is dense and long but, please trust me, we're going somewhere."

Cheeks wet with tears, I croak—Jessica, you are the biggest fucking cunt in Somerville. She giggles like a female alien, inhales serenely, and says Thank you.
