If you’re in the Bay Area you should either come to this reading during Lit Crawl with @charliejaneanders.com, @olivasthewriter.bsky.social and others or prepare to regret missing it forever

Transition

Saturday October 24, 2026 5:00pm - 6:00pm
Dog Eared Books (900 Valencia St,
San Francisco, CA 94110)

So often, opportunities for trans writers are focused around work
about transition, but no more! The amazing breadth and depth of insight trans people possess will be on display as five of the best trans writers in San Francisco share
fiction, non-fiction, and poetry on any topic except one.

This was an incredible reading and I was thrilled to be up there with such incredible writers in my most evil outfit

I don’t particularly love travel, but wind up doing it for a few reasons: work, writerly opportunities, and most importantly because there are a lot of people who I want to see that don’t live where I do! I try not to worry about air safety like I try not to worry about car crash statistics

Why do you travel so much? You aren’t worried about all the declines in air safety?

I watch american football (evil) and also the nba and wnba. I think basketball is a perfect sport. If I had to play one, I’d love to pick up tennis again, though I suspect my knees would hate me for it

Do you watch or like any sports? What sport would you participate in if you had to?

unless I try to do it too often, usually quite a few! enough to kill whatever time I’m trying to kill, at least

oh, the story “Tiddies” by @rsbenedict.bsky.social for sure. an incredibly fun concept pushed as hard as humanly possible

Favorite Typebar piece (that you didn’t write)?

it’s a big part of queer culture in general, and I think it’s natural that trans people, sometimes alienated from their bodies or possessing bodies that don’t optimally perform vanilla sex would seek other avenues for sex. massive oversimplification, of course

Why is kink such a huge part of trans culture?

the penis is a highly celebrated body part. graffiti, festivals, sculptures. can’t blame parents for trying to steal a little bit of that shine

Why are people out there naming their kid dick?

not sure who you are, but I doubt you’re on the very short list of people I find sexually compelling enough to entertain a question like this

Luckily @traumbooks.bsky.social has only ever given me sensible, productive notes, but when I was trying to get an agent for Love/Aggression, I did get feedback that asked to make changes that would fundamentally compromise the project of the book

What is the dumbest note you’ve ever gotten back from an editor at a publishing company

June Martin @theworldsgreatestwriter.com · 01/09/2026

That’s such a good question, I don’t know! I had to turn down something I really wanted to do because there’s just no time this summer, but hopefully soon I come up with something good to pitch them with

What is the next piece you're going to write for your good friends at the Oakland Review of Books?

I’m a z-list celebrity with almost no personal grudges in my life due to my easy demeanor. I think I’m gonna be fine

Just because you aren't paranoid doesn't mean people aren't plotting against you. Watch out.

I wasn’t much for stunts as a child. Fearful, convinced anything out of my comfort zone could cause me harm. Drinking as a teen made it easier to be fearless, but it’s a tendency that has taken a lifetime to unlearn

Craziest stunt you ever pulled off in childhood?

if we’re sticking strictly to the Surrealist movement, it’s Leonora Carrington’s “The Hearing Trumpet,” a spectacular novel about being old and people trying to get rid of you

What's your favorite Surrealist work (in any medium)?

I write for at least an hour every morning! usually 6:30-7:30 but it depends on how much sleep I get

Do you set aside consistent time to write on a regular schedule?

sorry for the boring answer but it’s capitalism, which is what makes it much harder to solve the various problems threatening us and prevents any effort to use humanity’s abundant resources towards creating good, dignified lives for everyone

What is the greatest threat to humankind?

tough!! Portrait of a Lady on Fire has a special place in my heart, and I love The Watermelon Woman (even the Camille Paglia jumps are), but I think it’s Desert Hearts for me. The driving-backward introduction is the hottest a woman has ever been in film to me

Gotta be Mircea Cărtărescu, the dreamy surrealism of his Romania and the emotional intensity of his narratives are incredible

who do you think is the world's third-greatest writer?

People of the Bay Area! I’m hosting a new reading series called Text Change, in which five trans writers are invited to read work on any topic other than transition! The first show is at The Stud on June 14th at 6:30! (flyer designed by @cara.city)
