Late post, but maybe no one uses this platform anymore?! I’ve had a v lucky application season. And just back from the Kenyon Review Writers Workshop, I can say it was a productive, generative, soul-restorative time... I’m both excited and terrified for what the future holds.

I'm so happy to reveal the cover of my new book, The American Daughters! It's available for pre-order from your favorite bookstore. The book is about a group of Black women and girls who form a spy ring to resist the Confederates! Save the date for a release event March 5, 2024.

A lil haiku about my first writers’ conference:

It’s been two days since
the inglorious shuttle
home. I’m still pooped.

Today at @sewaneewriters, this piece by @kimmagowan breaking me into a million tiny pieces… Amazing class on experimental writing led by @mcrane_12.

If Mandy Moore’s 47 Meters Down taught us anything, it was that the real scary was the ocean, NOT the sharks.

The cognitive dissonance when you wake up to a lit mag rejection, spend the whole morning reading a novel that makes you cry, almost skip lunch (and technology) to read through to the end…!

@xueyizhou Me, too!

💭 I like to travel by train. Ships are too slow and airplanes too fast (my soul can hardly catch up with my body).

Writer Isabel Allende shares what she packs for a trip, how she prepares to travel and her favorite place in the world.

“Because it’s easier, you’ll forgo your glasses. It shocks people who know you, the shape of your eyes and the bridge of your nose, as if correctional lenses are as good as blindfolds. And people who don’t know you?”
