Do you think that the majority of magazine editors and publishers are young and sick/afflicted with ageism? After all, there is no officialy/non-officially recognized marginalized group called "old writers." Or "elderly writers" if you want to be more polite. Or "old farts" if you don't.

I used to publish a literary magazine for 22 years. If you aspire to become a publisher, my advice is simple. Don’t.

What do you think about this full cover? The book was published in 2008, but I'm refreshing the cover for the new edition. Thank you. www.amazon.com/My-Life-Firs...

You have probably seen “human vs. AI” recognition tests. The question: can a human reader tell a story written by a fellow human writer from a story written by AI? Please make a selection in the poll below and comment as well. And make history. markbudman.com/human-vs-ai-...

This stunning YA book cover image was made by Grok today. It's a 14-year-old boy wizard and a 14-year-old girl psychic. There is an evil soldier in the background. I'm not making it up. AI is our future.

When someone accuses you of a double entendre, do you double down or say that your French is rusty and you thought that "entendre" means "penetration?"

A review in People Magazine. I $hit you not. "A mordant dreamer, the protagonist of this first novel is deliciously at odds with his comrades in Russia... This soulful tale about a perpetual outsider marks a debut well worth celebrating." markbudman.com/my-life-at-f...

Great news. My short story collection The Most Excellent Immigrant is one of the best indie books of the year according to Kirkus Review! I worked hard on this book.
