I’ve returned from summer hiatus, and I finished this book! Just sent it off to my agent. I think it’s the best thing I’ve ever written, and if he says a SINGLE negative thing about it I’m going to have a very public meltdown 😇 also i missed you all

Emerging from a summer semi-hiatus to share I've got a new story live online today with @TheFLReview! "Mother and Child" took early inspiration from a real airplane encounter and a real little girl I'll never forget. Endless thanks to @Jake_Wolff for believing in this one.

Live today, new fiction from @keddymilligan! “She’s got her dog, her big retriever, the first time she’s flown with him, and she almost wishes a stranger would complain about it. Just enough for an excuse to get mad back at someone out loud.” floridareview.cah.ucf.edu/ar…

Mother and Child

…She apologized, profusely. She called it weakness. Her humanity…

I wrote a story set in coastal Georgia--featuring Walmart, camo, antelope steak, old-growth forests, horses, a couple in strife, and yes, armadillos. It's a strange one. Huge thanks to @Jake_Wolff for edits & giving this a home at @TheFLReview online!! 💛🐴floridareview.cah.ucf.edu/ar…

writer in my DMs just went *immediately* from asking about Submittable to trying to send me nudes. There is literally no one i want to see naked less than someone who has just asked about the status of their submission

My 1st-ever published poem was in @TheFLReview in 1981. I haven't made it back until now. This poem's another 1st, as I've never before written a golden shovel. Sincere 🙏 to the journal & editor @Jake_Wolff for the care they took with it & to @katieengelhart for the inspiration. – at Florida, USA

Live today, new poetry from @SayCarey1, “Relative Risk,” a beautiful & sad golden shovel about holding on & letting go ❤️ floridareview.cah.ucf.edu/ar…

Hi friends, some job news: I’ve accepted a fiction faculty position at the University of South Florida, starting this fall. Along with being able to work with the awesome MFA students there, I’ll also get to live in the same city as my spouse for the first time in 5 years !!

P.S. this does mean I will eventually (not yet!) have to step down as editor of The Florida Review. But stay tuned b/c we’ve already picked my replacement, and while I’ll let him share that news…let me tell you, it’s VERY exciting news for the journal

Update on our pins: we just gave away our last one, thus lifting this witch’s curse and freeing me to fall in love again
Jake Wolff@Jake_Wolff24 Mar 2022
AWP book fair update: met lots of nice people so far! Also met one lady who said she did NOT want a free pin but then slowly, silently rearranged them on the table one by one. VERY creepy, VERY awesome move.

Our table looks a little sad and empty now, but my heart is full & I would love to meet more of you! I am also tremendously awkward, which can create a *neat* social experience!

We are sold out of nearly everything (still a few of our beautiful chapbooks left!) but still here at AWP table 1102 and now offering half-off subscriptions! Please come and support our little print journal!
