Of all the alternate history premises in fiction, the McGuffin of @edenrobins's debut, "When Franny Stands Up," is one of the most unlikely and - it turns out - rich. read.sourcebooks.com/fiction/978172 1/

I'm going to make custom bookplates (fancy word for stickers that go in your book) for When Franny Stands Up, personalized & signed, & I'd love to send you one! Can be for you or someone else (I hear it makes a great holiday gift). If you want one, DM me your info!

I am lucky enough to have experienced this personally, but Cory's reviews are meticulous and thoughtful -- an incredible rarity these days! It would greatly behoove you to read and share this thread and these books!

Each year around now, I round up all the books I reviewed in the past 12 months; as a convenience for readers and to remind myself, I don't need to feel so horribly guilty about all the books I *didn't* review (to those authors: rest assured, I still feel horribly guilty). 1/

Chicago's best-kept literary secret is , truly you cannot believe the line-up this year and trust me I'm not talking about myself Fun fact, though, it started while I was a junior in high school there, mumble mumble years ago

Happy anniversary of the time my mom told a synagogue full of old ladies that because I was vegetarian, we'd be having "Turfuckey" for Thanksgiving

Okay who wants to hire me to write a remake of Midnight Run as a police abolition comedy starring Natasha Lyonne in the DeNiro-ish role and Kathryn Hahn reprising Grodin

Sometimes I think about how the original Mr Potato Head required you to bring your own real potato, what a bunch of cheap fucks

I am lucky my debut novel came out just under the wire, but it also sucks! I hope you check out WHEN FRANNY STANDS UP -- my love letter to Chicago, a comedy about trauma where jokes are magic and women rule stand-up. Then come find me & let's chat!

The one time someone told me it was "really not cool" to talk about putting Mr. Clean in erotic fan fic because he was a "known asexual"

Only thing more terrifying than the possibility of my first reader hating the rough draft of my new book is the reality that my first reader loved my new book I guess because this big scary idea I had might... be working? And now I have to... finish it?
