Paul W. Morris

A man of few words & fewer characters. Good literary citizen. Publisher & ED of @laphamsquart, also @BKBF. Formerly @speakeasy_house, @penamerica, @authorsguild

[Paul W. Morris @pwmorris]

It’s been hard keeping a lid on this: I’ll be stepping down from @SpeakEasy_House this month. It’s been an amazing 7-year run, but I’m excited to start as Publisher/Executive Director of @laphamsquart. Looking forward to working with dedicated LQ staff & Lewis Lapham himself!

[Paul W. Morris @pwmorris]

A sad day for us at @laphamsquart, and a great loss to the world of letters. A remarkable man and mind.

[Lapham’s Quarterly @laphamsquart]

Lewis H. Lapham, the founder of Lapham’s Quarterly and one of the great American essayists, journalists, and editors, died in Italy during the night of July 23-24. He was eighty-nine.

If you’re in Oakland on March 17, stop by Clio’s, a new bookstore directly inspired by Lapham’s Quarterly, for an event about the magazine’s past and future. https://t.co/sT1ovUoucx

I'm grateful to my new co-workers at @laphamsquart for this generous post, and to Lewis for his warm welcome. Auguries!

22 years later and this is still one of the most powerful pieces I've read about 9/11, and in less than 500 words: https://t.co/uJfTlVHzJU

@danpjsheehan It doesn’t look like anything to me ….

@stephopitz Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful

Two weeks from tonight! Grab your reading glasses and your dancing shoes, it’s been three years since a live National Book Awards event, can’t wait to celebrate with my After-Party peeps!

[Paul W. Morris @pwmorris]

Congrats to the staff of @PENamerica for unioning. I am pro union and pro PEN and think this is a very good thing for all parties!

[PEN America United @united_PEN]

1/ Hi, Twitter! We’re the staff at PEN America, and we just won VOLUNTARY RECOGNITION of our union!!

Read on to learn about how we did it and why collective action is needed in workplaces like ours (and yours!) now more than ever. #UnionStrong

@stephopitz Lived in a small NYC studio apt for 13 years, like living on small boat, every had its proper place!

I so rarely tweet, but this collaboration with @libbytheflores feels tweet-worthy—it’ll certainly age better than the last time I was in the Styles section. Thanks @rachsherm for caring enough about our story to get it right for the @nytimes Vows section…

[Libby Flores @libbytheflores]

Some news❣️@nytimesvows

@luxlotus @libbytheflores Aww thanks, you were there at the dawn of her arrival in nyc! Thank you for always being our cheerleader…

[Paul W. Morris @pwmorris]

@phirschler1 Already read it, just wondering the big deal

[Paul W. Morris @pwmorris]

Finally finished that 10,000+ word article about being a kidney donor, very well written but I can't understand why all the debate around plagiarism, ethics, and art. So am taking to Twitter for a change to engage in "The Discourse" to find out what I missed about #BadArtFriend

@stephopitz @mollytempleton @HalimahMarcus @AbbeWright @chapmanchapman Nah, We hung out late fall 2012 and went to Jeopardy at McNally on Prince...AWP was 4 months later

[Paul W. Morris @pwmorris]

@stephopitz @mollytempleton @HalimahMarcus @AbbeWright I think your 2am hotel room dance with @HalimahMarcus at #AWP in Boston happened only 4 months after we first met, the same night I introduced you to @chapmanchapman at #nerdjeopardy !
