Fall Writing Nights starts Thursday! Want to see what Writing Nights is like? Here's a lesson we re-recorded. We focused on memory and flashbacks that season, and in this session we examined how effortful or easeful, welcome or unwelcome memories can be. vimeo.com/share/37af05...

I am so honored to be a guest on the extraordinary @heykellyjensen.bsky.social 's podcast Liberating Lit. I haven't laughed so hard about the worst topics - but that's what we do. We find community. Connection and a home with each other. Kelly is that for me. www.liberatinglit.com/episodes/epi...

Episode One: Tasslyn Magnusson — Liberating Lit

Dr. Tasslyn Magnusson has been tracking book bans since 2021. But her work is much more than simply counting–it’s helping motivate other people nationwide to get to work protecting the right to read. ...

There’s such an easy answer to this “gotcha” question and it’s “Sports are inherently unsafe and unfair and it’s ridiculous to single out trans athletes when we allow 150 pound linebackers to go up against 260 pound linemen in freshman football on a daily basis. Let kids play with their friends.”

Here is the testimony I offered at Monday's State Board of Educatikn hearing. Under their new, proposed curriculum, the history of my family will be whitewashed behind recognition. I doubt what I said will change minds, but I'm proud to have gone there, and to have said it.

I both think it's important to tell this story but also: I have done so much work SINCE THEN to try and create a world where it doesn't happen again, along with 5,000 other book creators in @authorsabb.bsky.social. And I feel like that's the more important story by a mile.

This is the situation I refer to the most when trying to explain a the state of book bans right now. Utah has state mandated book destruction for books like Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood, and Damsel by Elana K Arnold. The vast majority of the books are written by women.

I'm THRILLED to share the cover of my speculative fiction debut, HOLLOWAY (pub date 5/4/26! art by Sarah Jarrett, cover designed by Corina Lupp & Jenna Stempel-Lobel). Autism? Anti-vaxxers? Art? Philosophy? Reverberations & cycles through history? If you say "yes, please," then HOLLOWAY is for you.
