AWP is so overwhelming the first time. I like it, though.
I want to watch both.
Insane.
If you’re going to AWP, and plan to stay at the Hyatt Inner Harbor, I have news: they oversold it. I’m in one half of a suite w a pullout couch. Some guy told me they tried to put him in a conference room.
Can someone please come over and pack my bag for AWP? I don’t know what to wear.
My tombstone will read: She could be guilted into attending events.
Oh good grief. But also: not surprising.
If you’re going to AWP this week, come say hi.
I’m cheap!
If you're heading to AWP in Baltimore next week--I'll be there, too. Here is my panel. Come say hi.
FYI, I will be on NPR’s All Things Considered at 5:40 PM or 7:40 PM EST tonight. I’m talking about the current media landscape as it pertains to books.
Publishing, what are we doing here? A guidebook to prison?https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/taylor-sheridan-first-book-how-to-not-die-in-prison-1236513557/
The thing that stuck out to me was how much publishers will have to avoid the daytime/late-night talk shows when publishing a politician's book. The View has always been an important stop in those PR campaigns.

He loves this toy that he’s going to destroy.
You don't want to see what goes on on Threads. It is undefeated in spreading misinformation and opinions about trad publishing.
I have been listening to the audiobook of Virginia Guiffre's memoir. What happened to her and all the survivors is horrific. It cannot be ignored.
Not a single conservative publisher would have given a book a second thought if the tables were turned. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/b...
He’s happy because he just destroyed a stuffed toy.

Yesterday, I wrote a piece about Belle Burden's book and why it should not be #1 on the NYT Bestseller List. It's pretty egregious of the Times, IMO. open.substack.com/pub/kathleen...
