Writer, editor, etc. My 2nd novel, CLUTCH, comes out from Tin House in 2026. My 1st, CACTUS LEAGUE (FSG) was about Spring Training Baseball. I like writing about groups and places and groups in places.

That feeling when you wrote a novel w/ a big subplot about redistricting in Texas in 2023 and your book comes out in 2026 but you want it to be out NOW. Next best thing... preorder? @tinhouse.bsky.social @zandoprojects.bsky.social zandoprojects.com/books/clutch/

Also, apparently this is a double cup? Loved the rehang of Northern European decorative art at @metmuseum.org.

Feeling as triumphant as this gal to see my @benningtonwriting.bsky.social students' final packets of the term. So much good writing this spring!

I loved this book! I tried to capture Phoenix metro in The Cactus League, and, well, Jonathan has me humbled. Please check it out, and congrats on your debut @jonathanin2k.bsky.social !

Turned in a revision of Clutch yesterday. Never thought I’d spend so much time thinking about bouncy houses, but the novel takes you where it needs to go.

Turns out a halal whole duck from Lawrenceville Costco + spicy kielbasa from Trenton Farmer's Market = pretty good approximation of duck and sausage gumbo. You can take your husband out of Louisiana but... he'll still destroy the kitchen making an excellent Thanksgiving gumbo.

Still a few spots in my revision intensive. Live online after work (ET) Dec 9-13: fawc.org/24-pearl-str... Not sure if my favorite lesson is discussing narrative frames or the (un)role of setting in fiction or talking about the circulation system, but it should be fun!
Revising Yourself & Others - LIVE - FINE ARTS WORK CENTER in Provincetown
LIVE via ZOOM: 6:30pm-8:30pm (Eastern Time) We’ll look at strategies for revising prose beyond the workshop, managing different kinds of self-editing with an eye toward readying pieces for submission ...
