Wow, such a lovely surprise to have my story from @SycamoreReview discussed in this podcast! (and lovely to discover a new writing podcast, too!)

[Ted Morrissey @t_morrissey]

The new episode of "A Lesson before Writing" - a video #podcast hosted by Brady Harrison, Grant Tracey & me - we mainly focus on authorial identity & we feature the story "Tears, or It Doesn't Count" by @QuinnForlini from @SycamoreReview https://t.co/saScUOCNuH

@EricaGorenberg Just saying this is exactly how I got my childhood cat. Also this cat is identical to my childhood cat.

@lifeinsitcoms @SycamoreReview thank you!

[Quinn Forlini @QuinnForlini]

finished reading my contributor copy of @SycamoreReview & it's fantastic. so grateful my strange story comprised entirely of transcribed dialogue from Say Yes to the Dress found this home.

Q: was it worth watching so much SYTTD for this?
A: yes, but I'll never watch it again

[Michael Dhyne @michaeldhyne]

My first book, Afterlife, won this year’s Felix Pollak Prize in Poetry. Grateful for the love and support of so many, but today I want to thank @EduardoCCorral, Debra Nystrom, and the wonderful people at @UWiscPress. Can’t wait to share this book with you <3

there's no thrill like when your baby falls asleep right at the moment when @havehadhavehad opens a submission call & that is what you do with your one precious minute of freedom

[Quinn Forlini @QuinnForlini]

highly recommend this piece, which I'd describe as lit mag true crime. and incidentally, A+ reading material while nursing your baby (for those who celebrate)

[Becky Tuch @BeckyLTuch]

I wrote something.
