In this second part of my conversation with my pub date buddy, Roohi Choudhry, we try to figure out what standards we want to use to measure the success of our first novels and how things are going two months in. mirandarowanschmidt.substack.com/p/debuting-h... #booksky #writesky #writingcommunity

I've been immensely lucky to work with Stillhouse press for my debut novel. Read about their process and projects in this interview with stellar publicist Taylor Schaefer! #booksky #writingcommunity #academicsky

I can't wait to talk hybrid writing with Ellene Glenn Moore for Brown Bag Lit! Ellene and I did our PhDs together, exploring poetry and prose, and we both have books out this spring. #writingcommunity #booksky #academicsky

In these novels, you can feel the folklore reaching out to pull you in. I loved writing about works by @arielgore.bsky.social, @rachelyoder.bsky.social, @alissahattman.bsky.social, @poingu.bsky.social, and more incredible authors for @electricliterature.com! #booksky

my amazing partner Miranda Schmidt's debut Leafskin is out imminently from Stillhouse Press! Release date 3/25, preorders open. Queer family, sequoias, bodies and climate change, and the blur of it all. It's so so good and definitely worth a look! #booksky www.stillhousepress.org/stillhouse-s...
