Last day in Kansas City before we pack our postcard press up and head back home to Philly. Stopped off at to grab some books and was thrilled to run into the owner of the store and editor of Spartan Press. Grabbed a GORGEOUS copy of the zine The Orphan.age. Wrangled my way in (sorry!) with the faculty head of and got to discuss the important and significant work they do for writers and the community. Please support/follow/champion. If I missed a tag, lemme know. Happy reading, writing, and nurturing one another.

Last day at AWP and trying to slyly catch up on my stories while setting up the table. If you’re in Kansas City, hop over to T1725 to share hot takes on how Tom Schwartz is as bad as Sandoval. But also to talk poems, flash, art, and postcards.

New day, new back issues on the table. Hope you peep both new and familiar faces. Plus this photo of Seth Freakin’ Rollins looking fly. Swing by to grab some free stuff at T1725

We’ve been keeping to our website for publications and news for the most part but are returning to social media to share our back issues and table info if you want to swing by for a free postcard (T1725). We’ll also be sharing past issues in our stories, as well as events happening this week—both AWP-related and Philly-related. We’ve also offered up a portion of our table for another small press authors who couldn’t make it to AWP to sell their books. Be excellent to one another. The last photo is a to an AWP sign I made from years past but had to promptly take down because people ended up thinking it was a children’s magazine.

Hey, our friends over at could use some support. A Novel Idea is a very important place to so many of us in Philadelphia and the surrounding. They support local authors, small presses, and tirelessly host community events. They’ll order books for you, they set up endless readings, develop and run workshops, and curate items from local sellers. This is not just a bookstore, it’s a tremendously beloved gathering place for many in the community. On a personal note, collaborating with A Novel Idea to put on the Flash Fiction Festival was a thrilling, rewarding, and dream-making moment; the generosity, enthusiasm, and careful planning they developed and put into motion was amazing (and inspiring). I know so many others who feel the same way about this space; A Novel Idea has provided people with such generous support and such a wonderful outlet that it would be really rad if we could do the same for them. 💚

One of our editors is desperate to discuss Vanderpump Rules with anyone and the other two editors, who have never seen the show, are very anxious to pass her off to someone else with this shared interest. You can stop by our table T1041 if this has consumed your life as well.
