Excited to be invited back to be a speed dating editor at the @barrelhouse.bsky.social conference! Last time, I not only gave feedback but I bought a story I'd later publish and nominate for best of the net, and I acquired a manuscript! That book will be published this fall. Good things happen here!

The Birdcage opened thirty years ago today, so in its honor, I want to share one of my favorite stories about Mike Nichols that didn't make it into my biography. This is from an interview I did with Nathan Lane.

It was going on one, two in the morning, and we were shooting what I felt was an important scene for me, when he makes an attempt to be quote-unquote straight, in a suit, and at the end of it he gets emotional and locks himself in the other room. And I felt like, I’m not getting what I want—I’m not happy with it. Mike was happy with it. He called me the next day and said, “I know you weren’t happy with the scene last night. Believe me, we wouldn’t have gone home if I had felt we weren’t getting it.” And then he sort of became my psychiatrist and said, “You find it difficult to be happy, don’t you? You find it difficult to enjoy things.” And I said, “Well, sometimes. Last night was about feeling too tired and not feeling I was reaching what I needed to reach for the scene.” He talked to me then about when he was making, I don’t know whether it was Virginia Woolf or The Graduate. He said, “I didn’t enjoy it for a second. I was worried about so many things.” And then he said, “You know, this is never going to happen again quite this way. You should try to allow yourself to enjoy this more. Take a minute a day, and then add a minute the next day, and another minute. Pretty soon, you’ll have hours of happiness.”

This. I’m not sure how to describe what felt different and special about this year’s AWP. I don’t think I’ve had this pleasant an AWP experience since 2015 in LA. I felt like we had built/were building a beautiful life in community and we got to enjoy its spoils this year.

Even though I didn't get to stay around as long as I wanted, it was so nourishing to go to literary readings & have powerful work wash over me at AWP. Oh my god I needed that so bad. Folks get your doses of literary readings in because they're so good for the soul.

The malarkey table is entirely writer-run. These guys loaded the books in, organized two readings, are running the table, promoting each others book’s and the books of the writers who can’t be at awp, and are keeping a spreadsheet so I can track everyone’s royalties. Amazing crew. Go visit them!

Pretty good Saturday so far. Every book we sell at awp helps us lose less money, with even a small possibility of ending up slightly in the plus. If you’re at awp you should head over to our table (506) and find some good deals on indie lit.
