Thank you so much for including my work here, Myna! It means so much to me that you enjoyed it!
“Every misogynist joke poses a question to its female audience: Can you laugh along? Will you be chill or are you going to make a big deal out of this? Are you going to be a bitch…? Arriving in the form of a dildo, the joke that is also the question becomes a double entendre: Can you take it?”
Thank you so much for reading!
Oh my goodness, thank you so much! I’m so thrilled you enjoyed it! Good luck with your submission. They’re really wonderful folks over there!
PS- She did 😭🥹
Ah, I’m so happy you enjoyed it! Thank you for reading!
Thank you so much! It is one of my favorite things I’ve written- and Steve at Okay Donkey really helped make it shine!
So proud of this zombie story about mother trauma over at Okay Donkey this week! Grateful for the chance to share it!
Finished novel number three today. Sent it off to my agent. Now turning off my brain for a long as possible 😮💨
😂
Happy pride month. Don’t be a Karen.
Ah, thank you so much! It was so much fun to write
If you’re interested in reading the first chapter of my latest novel, check it out at L’Esprit!
If you’re an editor and wanna see the whole thing, I hear @irisblasi.bsky.social can hook you up!
Oh no, not 50%! 🙄
The struggle
Do I..do I write absurdist literary fiction?
This is an excellent discovery.
The part about moving toward an almost heard conversation- yes! I can’t get over how perfectly that describes it!
Thank you- and to you as well!
A year ago today I finished my first novel.
Today, I signed a contract with my dream literary agent. I am so excited to share that my work is now represented by @irisblasi.bsky.social of Arc Literary Management.
I can’t wait for all that is to come with her in my corner!

The thing about so-called generative artificial intelligence is, the intelligence isn't artificial. It's real. It's OURS. The techbros stole our intelligence (our data, our thoughts, our stories, our art) and used the software to regurgitate it and spackle it together into digital particleboard.
You gotta share which book with an endorsement like that!👀
You spend months and months wondering when it will be your turn and then suddenly it just…is?
yesterday got away from me and I didn't post Danielle Barr's story. a shame! it's great, super fun.
