Mr Zoellner, I really appreciate hearing that. Like, literal tears appreciate it. I grew up reading you in The Republic and RIM TO RIVER was fantastic and filled a huge gap in our state’s literature.

Goodnight AWP. Goodnight foggy Harbor. Goodnight Baltimore convention center. Goodnight writer friends. Goodnight indie presses. Goodnight stars. Goodnight moon.

Like good old-fashioned pirates me and @beansbaker5.bsky.social have commandeered Roi Faineant Press’s empty table and we’re slinging books. Come by and buy one! Please, I have a child! #awp26

Walking into the book fair and staying until 11 to try and hawk these books for the low low sale price of $14! They were $14 yesterday too! I can’t afford any cheaper, Lord strike me down!

Does no one else hate the idea of this freaking thing besides me???

About to head over to the #awp26 book-fair to sell some books out of my bag like a dude in a trenchcoat selling watches on an NYC subway. If you love me, please buy a book. If you don’t love me, also buy a book. If we’re friends or acquaintances or strangers never to meet again…you get the point.

Wife: How’s the conference?

Me: Great! I think I’m starting an Arizona regionalist literary journal!

Wife: …

Me: No, no, no, honey, you don’t understand. This is going to cost us money.

Can I interest anyone in a 1980s word processor for $800 bucks? Some elixir pills? Some snake oil? No? Anybody? Anybody…?

My first creative writing teacher, Caitlin Horrocks, who I haven’t seen in 21 years. No, you’re crying.

Heading over to the book fair and signing with EastOver Press from noon to 1 PM!

As your friend, colleague, and fellow writer, I cordially ask you to please buy a copy, a second copy, steal one right in front of me (please don’t). Just don’t make me pack these books in my luggage.

It's important to get a little sleep at AWP whenever you can. Even in the middle of your own reading @joshuatrentbrown.com

First official day of AWP. It would probably be useful if I zip yp my fly before I go into the book fair. Already doing great!

One of my favorite short story collections of all time. Put this one on your calendars.

Left my house for the airport at 3 AM and just got to my room. Hello, AWP. Hello, Baltimore.

I’ve been in Baltimore for five hours and I already need to sell all my books just to pay for my lunch. But the crabcakes were exceptional!

Come out tonight for @stanchion.bsky.social and listen to us read and maybe buy a copy or two!
