Calling it quits here on Twitter, but I'll be elsewhere where the vibes are better. Hope to see you all again! Let's keep being good to each other.

Anne Lamott has some thoughts about “writers” who would be satisfied with #ChatGPT or #GenerativeAI creative writing. Her point: you’re a writer because of the process, not the product. From Bird by Bird (1994).

The #shortstory collection GOLDEN HEART PARADE by @jsph_hlt is currently on sale over on @amazon!

Don't wait, get your copy ASAP! https://t.co/ct1m4VxsOW

I reviewed THE NATURE BOOK by Tom Comitta, a debut novel from @Coffee_House_, for @StarTribune. I say it’s “an epic journey — visual, textural and musical — that illustrates the vastness of our environment.”

I taught book reviewing for @CatapultStory, who’s now shuttering its classes division. My experience there was awesome: smart students, helpful admin, great community and collaboration. I like everyone involved and was lucky to be part of that. https://t.co/kqg0Qxy7WE

[Joseph Holt @jsph_hlt]

Ice Box, the undergrad lit journal at @uafairbanks / @uafcla, got a glowing review. Our latest issue was praised for its "diversity of content, imaginativeness, and literary skill." Very proud of our student writers and editors! https://t.co/lBLHrQTsZc

[Joseph Holt @jsph_hlt]

@henribroom @uafairbanks @angiecthomas @WanbliWeiden @BananaKarenina The lower titles are more traditional literary fiction, while the upper ones skew toward genre (e.g., crime, horror, romance, YA). In general, we want to read widely and critically, observing the many approaches to fictional technique. Plus the craft book up top.

[Joseph Holt @jsph_hlt]

Reading list for my grad-level Forms of Fiction class at @uafairbanks this spring. Going for a good variety of canonical, contemporary, literary, and offbeat. Featuring: @angiecthomas, @WanbliWeiden, @BananaKarenina, and more!

Taking a hiatus here until we see how Twitter develops under this new leadership. If “free speech” becomes “hate speech,” I won’t participate.

The Aberdeen Author Fair was fantastic! I got to meet new author friends, catch up with old friends, and of course pick up some wonderful new books. Thank you, @AberdeenPubLib, for hosting this event! 📚

[Joseph Holt @jsph_hlt]

Just submitted our latest issue of Ice Box, the UAF undergrad journal, to @plainchinavcu! Take note, advisors and editors: plain china is basically the "Best American" or "Pushcart" for undergrad writers. UAF has been represented in it the past two years!

[Joseph Holt @jsph_hlt]

@janeenlee @CopperCanyonPrs I'd like to pass along this info to some former students. Could you update that "Internships & Volunteer Opportunities" page to remove the bold "Summer 2022" parts? I think that might make people think the internship period has passed. https://t.co/7Jw6CL0iu5

[SFWP @SFWP]

Tomorrow night at 7pm CT, @jsph_hlt will be at the Virtual Speaker Series in Writing, Editing, & Publishing hosted by the Department of English at @UofNorthDakota!
