I published a few things this year you may have missed (including my debut story collection!). Thanks to all the journals that gave my writing a home in 2025. A fun thread:

“On Baths” is part of this terrific collection https://t.co/FKZfnZssxn

I don’t get back to Missouri all that much any more, so I’m thrilled to stomp through my old stomping grounds (Columbia) and read with some of the best writers in the game next month!

Never forget that you are the main data center. Drink water, and consume as much literature as possible.

don't use ai to write, use your childhood trauma like the rest of us

Just finished my last interview. Last two episodes should be out in the next month and a half, or so. Been a good run. One for the books.

[Tyler Dempsey @tylercdempsey]

New episode with @ScottLaudati! We talk growing up in a blue collar, artless family, empty promises of Hollywood, and ball cancer. Plus his amazing book, Play the Devil. Lil sum sum for your weekend listening pleasure.

Run it up!

My book This World Will Never Run Out of Strangers came into the world six months ago today. If you've bought the book, read it, reviewed it, thought about buying it, or even just liked, shared, or laughed at/cheered for a post about it, you have my eternal and undying gratitude.

if you don't write today, that's okay because you might die tomorrow, and no one will remember you anyway

If you're a good enough writer, you will suffer from depression.

My favorite Easter memory is getting the cinematic masterpiece Space Jam on VHS in my Easter basket and rewatching it all day with my brother while we got annihilated on chocolate and jelly beans. Simpler times.

Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

[Bethany Cutkomp @bdcutkomp]

Idk about you guys, but I write because I enjoy writing, and I submit to places that share this same love of writing. Is that not the whole point??

[Cody Shrum @cshrumly]

@tylercdempsey @jrostopovich @Kristen_Arnett This one will do some numbers—can’t wait to check it out!

[Tyler Dempsey @tylercdempsey]

New episode with super-amazing person, @Kristen_Arnett! We talk about Florida, a practical approach to chasing dreams, and their book "Stop Me If You've Heard This One."

Run it up!

Happy 1st Birthday to my debut story collection, Oakaville! If you’ve read it, a rating or review on Good Reads/ Amazon really goes a long way. If you haven’t read it, why not?? Hit me up for a signed copy or you can find it on Amazon: https://t.co/DrOS2Wfz91
