Beyond Lolita: Literary Writers on Sex & Sexuality is Swedish American Museum on November 5th and the line-up is so very stellar indeed.

Quite stellar and so November 5th and there is much more information like right here.

Quite honored to be sharing some fine company in the Bustle joint "How To Write A Personal Essay That’ll Tell Your Story The Way You Want It To."

Possibly even more than honored, not that we're sure what that would be. Excerpt? Word.

Examine Your Level of Sincerity Within Your Piece

If you’ve published before, think about how honest you’ve been in your past pieces — and make sure you get to the same place of sincerity again. Push yourself harder if you haven’t. People are attracted to the way people tell stories, not necessarily what they’re writing about, Ben Tanzer said. “If people feel like they can trust you for all the same reasons they did before, they’ll fall in love with you.”

(Sketches from the) AWP 2015.

Kicked off yesterday with best panel of day with @annamarch, @WendyCOrtiz, @meganstielstra, and @BenTanzer. Hope today's is 1/2 as good.

"Real talk: Independent publishing is not six-figure advances. It’s people who love books, who love stories and ideas and the impossible architecture of language so fiercely and furiously that they back it with blood, with sweat and cash and precious, precious time. Curbside Splendor put everything they had behind this book, and I couldn’t be more proud to count myself among them."
