Before Patricia Highsmith was a great American author, she wrote comic books, which she hated. She was also a prolific womanizer but put herself through gay conversion therapy. Somehow this led her to write a world-changing work of lesbian fiction, "Carol" https://t.co/iW5Vw4MGLW
"Diana and the Hero's Journey" is my new book, and it's out October 4! I don't say this lightly: This book is very close to Lumberjanes in tone, so if you like Lumberjanes, you'll love this one.

This SATURDAY, AUGUST 19 we'll be hosting double Eisner-award-winning writer Grace Ellis in store from 2-4! Stop by to meet Grace and get a signed copy of her latest graphic novel, Flung Out of Space!
If you haven't read Flung Out of Space yet, I hope this is a reminder to pick it up! It's a unique and wonderful story about a unique and terrible person, and I hope this award shines a path forward for more fallible characters, particularly fallible women.
Thrilled beyond words that Flung Out of Space has won an Eisner Award! Thank you thank you thank you, especially to my co-creator @HannahTempler. I'm endlessly lucky to have collaborated with someone so brilliant and interesting and generous and even luckier to call you my friend
Another massive thank you to the team at @ABRAMSbooks: editors @marikotamaki and @sgtgreenbomb, cover designer @andreacecelia, and the rest of the Surely team. Your support of this book has made all the difference.
I won't be at San Diego Comic Con this year, but if you're there and are interested in hearing from some super genius artists, these are the panels for you!
I'll be at the Columbus Book Festival tomorrow! Be there or be square!

Absolutely floored for "Flung Out of Space" to be nominated for two Eisner Awards! Best Reality-Based Work and Best Writer!
Feeling incredibly grateful and humbled to be considered among such esteemed company!
This is so masterful, absolutely one of the most riveting things I've seen in a long time. Highly recommended for anyone interested in character examinations and in artistic meta layers. Excellent work from everyone involved, wow https://t.co/Ce1UQOuEw7
If you're an Eisner voter, I hope you'll consider voting for "Flung Out of Space." These two categories are absolutely stacked (like I said: humbled), but I do hope that "Flung Out of Space" resonates with you and would be honored if you considered voting for it!

Obviously all credit is due to @HannahTempler, @sgtgreenbomb, and @marikotamaki for being willing to launch themselves off a cliff with me in the creation of this book
My new play "Explicit Content for Teens" is going out into the world today! This show has it all: an audience vote between two endings, a fictional play-within-a-play about a 1950s party, and a real folk song with lyrics that will make you say "is THAT what that song is about??"
Impeccable timing on this article: If the question of what content is appropriate for high schoolers to stage is one you're interested in (like "Explicit Content for Teens" is interested in it), this is a great primer on the state of affairs https://t.co/Am22onIW69
“Most of the kids, though, their response to being told they couldn’t look at something was to seek it out and find a way to experience it. So, the question becomes ... how do you collectively decide what is appropriate for kids? And should you?”
