bit of a long shot, but I have two clients wrapping up their contracts who I just found out aren't renewing, and a possible third in December. anyone out there - ideally in A) Portland or B) the arts, but I've kind of done everything tbh - looking for a grantwriter with 20+ years experience?

It was a honour to help Brian & Wendy Froud (artists, folklorists, and the puppet film designers behind The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth) to turn their vision for this book into reality. Happy Book Publication Day to both of them, and to all the brilliant women writers who contributed to the volume.

Photograph: A copy of "Brian Froud's Green Women" sits on a background of moss. The book contains "provocative portraits from the grandfather of faerie art Brian Froud," along with "words and stories of fantasy and myth from acclaimed women writers around the world." The book's publication day is October 6. Publisher: Abrams Books, New York.

So. I don't want to be your alarmist buddy on Bluesky. But my pattern-matching gifts are firing right now. If you no longer have N95 masks at home? Lay some in. Try out a respirator sample or two if you can get it. Some places sometimes have sampler boxes to try different styles. Good companies:

LOLLLLLL. So I got a likely scam email inquiring about the film rights to Daron's Guitar Chronicles. The "tell" was that they listed the title this way: "Reaching out from The Literary Bureau regarding Daron's Guitar Chronicles (Series #1)Daron's Guitar Chronicles, Vol. 1."

Hi Cecilia,

Reaching out from The Literary Bureau regarding Daron's Guitar Chronicles (Series #1)Daron's Guitar Chronicles, Vol. 1. Are media adaptation rights currently open for this book?

Best regards,

I once attended an interesting but very niche and very nitpicky panel at a WFC with him, in which The Dragon Waiting came in for some disapprobation. At the end I was spluttering, and he remarked mildly, "That's why it says 'A Masque of History' on the title page." Your experiment was a good try!

One of the many things* I love about Naomi Kritzer's posts on candidates for election is how many times I learn info like "This person has done an important, thankless task very well for several years, vote for them again." It's a great to see that happen, amidst all the...other stuff.

Keith sues people like the folks defrauding Somali families for places to live, or mega landlords whose places are slums because they want to squeeze every dollar out of tenants. He sues employers committing wage theft and companies engaged in illegal price fixing. It’s ALL affordability.
