"A Swedish proverb says, “Every behavior happens for a reason.” I hope Bigger reminds readers that, despite the hurts and difficulties, they can choose to approach their loving-but-complex relationships with open-hearted curiosity."

Check out this lovely interview with AHP author Ren Cedar Fuller!

New on our website! "Courting Justice" by Christiaan van der Merwe: "I felt that law is important. There must be laws. There must be justice. Those who err must redeem themselves...The law, and linked morality, appears more wonky by the day."

How to write: Stop not writing. Keep your butt in the chair. Write really bad small sections of the whole—passages, moments, episodes, memories—til you have an incredibly shitty 1st draft. Then take out the boring parts, the lies and pretensions. Then write a better 2nd draft.
