Creativity refuses to be bound by timetables. Writing slow is sometimes the only way a given book makes it to the world.

Small publishers, big impacts. @kristenmcwriter considers the essential role independent publishing houses play in the literary landscape.

@nyrbclassics I purchased A Month in the Country after reading Jonathan Lethem's More Alive and Less Lonely and then seeing the book in a store, so count my copy as word of mouth serendipity from words written nearly a decade ago?

This is going to land on the TBR.

"The new translation moves the story forward, so to speak, amidst the wider tale of literature. And it is a gorgeously engaging read at that."

@nickhilden reviews a new translation of Juan Rulfo's 1955 novel.

I am not a painter, I am a poet.
Why? I think I would rather be
a painter, but I am not.

We have been neglecting our duties to suggest books for your TBR. Wednesday's Child: Stories by Yiyun Li should be on your list if you care about poignant stories, characters painted so authentic they might be your neighbor, and always great prose.

The platform just suggested our posts would be seen by more people if we DM strangers? Must have read that wrong because...

I wrote for Shepherd about my favorite books where the real and unreal collide. The list contains only my five favorites from Sofia Samatar, @david_mitchell , Susanna Clarke, and Karen Russell, but there are so, so many more...

Sigh: just received an AI/LLM generated manuscript. No one has time to sift through this garbage. Especially when submissions aren't open. And the submission doesn't go through the correct submission process. Auto-delete.

[TimeIsRightPodcast @TimeIsRight_Pod]

A day late and probably several dollars short, but we did drop a new episode yesterday! Creativity during emotionally difficult times can be tough. @JDSampo & @KevinJFellows discuss how they have been managing their creativity through challenging times.

[TimeIsRightPodcast @TimeIsRight_Pod]

We did it again! Another Time is Right episode is out today. @JDSampo and @KevinJFellows talk about creative strengths and weaknesses and if we should even think about them that way.

For this month's TBR list, I'll be focusing on recent novellas. Suggestions welcome for novellas published over the past 12-14 months.

[Kevin J Fellows mostly under a blue sky & IG @KevinJFellows]

Mini-thread about my no longer secret project. I'm writing two unrelated novellas. The first involves a YouTuber, a vanished couple from Hollywood's golden age, a missing movie script, & a secret painting. Also, some strangeness with reflections and lenses.

March's additions to the TBR pile. https://t.co/nghOPtCq1S

[Five South @fivesouthlit]

We're coming up to capacity on our free submissions window earlier than expected, so if you're dragging your feet, now's the time. We may need to close early:

At the wire - this month's TBR additions. https://t.co/UXA0XEUF3O

Is it normal to create custom merch so one can order their own coffee mug?

January's TBR additions for that deep winter reading. https://t.co/wxEmSykjpq

Third story submitted in four (working) days. This for a story contest. If you dream in black and white and fall asleep in your dream, can that 'dream' be in color? And what if you aren't dreaming and it's actually just time travel?

Saw someone mention how the weather was perfect for staying in and reading. I mean, isn't that every day? But if you need something for your TBR, here's a bundle.
