Turns out my novel has the potential for reaching communities wanting to discuss modern masculinity, family relationships, and the search for personal identity.

[Emma Smith-Stevens @ESmithStevens]

@jiml0828 Hey James. I don't have an agent. What kind of writing do you do? If you are a writer of poetry, creative nonfiction/essays, or literary fiction I recommend checking out the contests held by various small/indie (traditional) presses. Poets & Writers magazine's website is a good

Hey this is Avee’s daughter, Aveena. He listened to nothing but Yeah Yeah Yeahs on the bike trainer and had a heart attack.

[Emma Smith-Stevens @ESmithStevens]

@Lucas_Church I wish when I'd read submission I'd had the wherewithal to reply to this stuff things like "oh no bb doll" or "that's hot." Maybe just: "k"
