whoa whoa whoa, I thought doing two books with Autofocus was MY thing.

🔥🔥🔥

TEEN QUEEN TRAINING, my first wild and precious book project—26 erasure essays sourced from the 26 chapters of the Book—began its ascent TEN YEARS AGO (!) and made it to prom court over and over but was never queen...until now. Tiara placement in spring 2026 w/ Autofocus!!!

WE ARE AT IT AGAIN! Excited to bring you another book by Kristine Langley Mahler in 2026—her essay collection of erasures of The Seventeen Book of Etiquette and Entertaining (1963): TEEN QUEEN TRAINING!

My pre-order is here, in time to get the author to sign this Saturday! ⁦Andrew Bertaina⁩ ⁦Autofocus⁩

NOW ON PREORDER (!!): Emily Adrian’s DAUGHTERHOOD. Part memoir, part autofiction, & part interview, this book traces the life of the author’s mother while also taking a deep look at the self. It’s so good. Find out more (& order) today:

Book mail! From Andrew Bertaina and Autofocus almost makes me want to skip happy hour and dive in! Bet it reads great in the bath.

If you love autofiction, you’re going to love my collection of essays. It’s like autofiction, but I’ve removed the fictive element and left in the sadness.

Pssst, AWP-ers! Retweeting Jason’s call here on collaborative writing.

(Also, buy Jason’s book from Autofocus. It’s ridiculously excellent.)

yes

Anybody want to do an AWP panel on collaborative writing?

Thrilled to have a physical copy of this stunning collection of essays by Andrew Bertaina! If you haven’t ordered a copy yet, you should now!

We actually did it! New episode where Michael Wheaton and I shot the shit about the whole world, so long as the world had at least a little bit to do with 'Paperback Writer' by The Beatles. (Had so much fun with this.)

Run it up!

I am taking more risks on Tik-Tok with book promotion because all my followers are sex bots. It frees me up to experiment with how to move more copies. The one flaw I could possibly see is that sex bots may not purchase books.

Thrilled to have an interview about my essay collection, The Body Is A Temporary Gathering Place, up at TBR. 'An interview series with authors of newly released/forthcoming, interesting books,' which is run by the wonderful Leslie Pietrzyk
