I write books that teach young adults about government, politics, climate change, history, etc. Also short fiction (which isn't specifically YA). JeffFleischer.com

If you missed me at the #bookfair yesterday at #AWP, I still have four print copies of #AnimalHusbandry on me. If you find me wandering the fair in the afternoon (or tell me where to meet you), will sign one for you. #shortstories
Cover of Animal Husbandry by Jeff Fleischer shows a minotaur, a cat, a rat, and a fox.

Just a few days away from #AWP2026. I'll be signing Animal Husbandry at the @slipperyelmlj.bsky.social booth on Friday from 2-3. Come on by (and if you've bought the book already or get it early, bring it and I'll sign it).

Remember folks. No matter where you live (especially in states where one party dominates) your #primary votes can be as important as November ones. And if you #votebymail this year, turn it in as early as you can. #VotesofConfidence

Social media memories reminded me today is the thirteenth anniversary of the first time I had a short story published in a literary magazine. Now that same story is the title piece in my first published collection. Grains of sand and all that. #fiction #shortstories #AnimalHusbandry

Happy #bookbirthday to my first fiction book, "Animal Husbandry (and Other Fictions)," released a year ago today. In a five-star review, Foreword Reviews says the stories "range from fun and bizarre to thought-provoking and emotional." Available in print, ebook, audiobook. Purchase link in comments.

Got to spend today talking to media students at my undergraduate alma mater. There are still lots of impressive students entering the news workforce.

Thank you to Secret World Books for a great event last night. If you wanted to make it but couldn't, Jeremy Wilson and I each signed a few extra copies of our books for stock.
Sign at Secret World Books with the schedule for book signings.

Had a school visit to talk with (a smart group of) students about the election results. Most of their questions concerned their fears about the impact of misinformation, so this Reuters and Ipsos survey seemed a relevant data point.

Hey folks. My eighth book, #CivicMinded, arrives in stores Oct. 1. @ALA_Booklist: "A strong choice for public and school libraries any time, but particularly during an election year." @KirkusReviews: "Every American can benefit from this book." lernerbooks.com/shop/show/24...

Friendly reminder to support your local library. And help out your friendly neighborhood authors by asking your library to order copies of their books. It's a big help and lets students who can't afford books get a chance to read them.
