I adored speaking with @sfmontgomery.bsky.social about all things ABBREVIATE! Her beautiful collection is searing and stirring and is a MUST READ!

Sarah Fawn Montgomery @sfmontgomery.bsky.social · Jul 16

For @underthesunonline.bsky.social I spoke with @cindybradleywriter.bsky.social about hybrid forms, writing ’90s girlhood, and the origin stories of several essays in ABBREVIATE!

Something to get excited about! 🤗

This is the longest we've kept a secret project secret: SLP is proud to be the home for HIT REPEAT UNTIL I HATE MUSIC: THE MARCH XNESS ANTHOLOGY, collated by the Official @marchxness.bsky.social Selection Committee (@angermonsoon.bsky.social + @meganc.bsky.social) and forthcoming on 3/31/26!

WELCOME MARCH XNESS! This image is of the corny, old-style Publishers Marketplace announcement that "HIT REPEAT UNTIL I HATE MUSIC: The March Xness Anthology" by Ander Monson and Megan Campbell, cofounders of March Xness, will be published by Split/Lip Press in March 2026. A collection of essays spanning 8 tournaments from 40 contributors, the anthology includes writers Matt Bell, Danielle Evans, Elisa Gabbert, Raquel Gutierrez, and Elena Passarello, among others.
