I've been commenting on the headway of my most recent book, the Mary Shelley biography, but The Strophes of Job had a nice time in #Baltimore too, selling out at its #book signing as well. #AWP

I was pleasantly surprised by the small feeding frenzy at last week's #book signing in #Baltimore - a lot of Mary Shelley enthusiasts at #AWP

@brigittewinter.bsky.social + #AWP brought to my attention this wild movie which, while not exactly the direction I took with my story, "Bootcut" @havenspec.bsky.social, is, er, cut from the same cloth. 👖🔪

While at #AWP in #Baltimore, I conducted brief interviews with a handful of the some 13,000 writerly types who attended the conference and bookfair. Really passionate, fascinating people doing really important work.

Reading through the Outskirts zine I picked up at #AWP, and it's just bangers.

There I was, reading at @greedyreads.bsky.social bookstore in Baltimore on Thursday 5 March during the @tupelopress.bsky.social #AWP off-site 30/30 alumni reading.
So many thanks to @mothergusa.bsky.social for the photos (and video, coming soon to my YouTube channel).

This photo is from the first day of my #CCCC and #AWP conference odyssey, but I’ll post it as its closing image because it captures the feelings, friendships, and literal lights of the events!

Best way to close AWP was with a quick visit and chat with @janefriedman.com! As always, her advice was generous and spot on! #awp #awp26 #writer

“Put the manuscript down. Have a drink and go paint something after thinking about your book, what gets on the canvas? What music were you listening to while you were writing? What does your book connect with? You worked so hard on this book. Have fun.” — Katya Buresh Wiegmann

“As much as you can, think of comps as something you get to do to better communicate what the heart of your book is. Not as something you have to do. You use comps every day for your own tastes. The comps play a small role on whether you go purchase a book.” @manadurphy.bsky.social

“When we look at comps in a query, we ask ourselves: Does the author know who their ideal audience is? Do they know who their future peers might be? Do you know their own work? Can they talk about it?” — Amy Bishop-Wycisk

“If I could give one piece of advice, try to get it right but don’t stall for two years saying you can’t query because the comps aren’t perfect.” — Elizabeth DeMeo

Check out their latest issues, and grab a bookmark with PULSE’S pre-order QR code.
We had a great #awp alongside @rhinopoetry.bsky.social + @hypertextmagazine.bsky.social ,

I was gratified that my book signing of Aspiring Child at #AWP was so successful - visitors to the press's booth were also interested in my other Mary Shelley-inspired books: An Untimely Frost (2014) and Mrs Saville (2018) #maryshelley #frankenstein #gothicliterature

Maren Curtis and I met as part of Melissa Silverstein’s Women and Hollywood’s Girls Club five years ago. After being in countless zoom meetings together, it was utterly delightful to finally inhabit the physical world side by side at AWP. @awpwriter.org #awp #awp26 #writer #writingcommunity

“My #books have a collage aspect to them. They seem like they have little overt narrative structure, but they have a deep structural narrative drive that I’ve learned from films. I’m constantly studying #film technique and structure.” — David Shields #awp #awp26 #writer #writingcommunity #panel

“You’re part of a team with #screenwriting. You’re not the face of the project in #film. There’s less ageism in some kind of films for screenwriters. You’re not running around promoting the film, the beautiful people on the poster are.” — Elizabeth Searle #awp #awp26 #writer #writingcommunity #panel
