Hope you give a listen to my conversation with Chris at the wonderful @Books4Guys in which we talk about getting guys to read more lit fiction and the importance of lit journals nurturing writers (as they have done selflessly for me).

Welcome to Books, For Men™ https://t.co/2TrQt9tg0n The only exception to the specifications outlined is Otherwise Wretched: Stories (Catamount) which is in fact paperback and fiction. Otherwise a fine article.

@TheoAirgonaut @Annalou8 Hey Shel just sharing that you gave my story “Their Wildness” a spot in the Sept 2019 issue of The Airgonaut (which doesn��t show up in the archive?) Anyway the story appears with credit in my debut collection Otherwise Wretched. Many thanks to you!

So you’re saying someone read my book!? You go @halfpricebooks !

Never a driving intention but it seems it’s guys that are most digging this collection. If it brings them back to fiction and into book stores I’m stoked.
