A Novel Idea on Passyunk

I have a story in Bullshit Lit. It's sort of based upon the last time I saw my grandmother before she died. Thanks to the samantha jones of indie lit and BULLSHIT LIT for featuring it.

New piece dropped today!!! 💀💀💀

I love a good novella/novelette. Most recently, I devoured HOUSE OF SKIN by Dr Karina Lickorish Quinn from Stanchion and WILD PLUMS by Patricia Q. Bidar from ELJ Editions.

Just sent the finalized PDF of the memoir, My Dungeon Love Affair by Stephanie Parent to Stanchion Book's editor. OMFG it's a gem. Sexy, yes, but so there's so much depth, emotion, vulnerability & grace here. What a privilege to be publishing this beauty. stanchionzine.com/product-page/m…

When we say 'try us,' we mean it! Form ain't no bar — we have published poetry, drama, lists, graphic art and posters under the 'humour' section. And this morning we accepted a craft essay, half of which is in verse. So, do try us folks!

#EpistemicLitFamily - If you’ve been pubbed by us or enjoy reading our issues can you please recommend us to writers looking to sub fiction, cnf, and cover art?

Our subs are usually poetry-heavy but this go around it’s looking extra lopsided!

I think this might be The Poem for me. I weep every time I read it. The line “I guard it without thinking” is so good.

Let's gather, free of discourse, and be merry inside the greatest bookstore in Philly. Let's buy books from local authors and small presses from A Novel Idea on Passyunk. Let's hear stellar writers read their work. Let's pretend, for an evening, that it's all going to be okay.

C’mon, y’all, let’s show up for Stanchion and A Novel Idea!

My oldest kid made a friend in Kotor today. One photo from this set will absolutely be in the book so that her dearly departed girl Trixie (the tattoo on her right arm) will be in there, too.
