As a UConn fan I’m bummed that Hurley went to the white supremacy lawn party. He even had a video of the racist Josh Hokit, but then took it down smh

Last night, I was assaulted by a man at Sundance Festival who told me that Trump was going to deport me before he punched me in the face. He was heard screaming racist remarks as he drunkenly ran off. The individual was arrested and I am okay. Thank you to the venue security and Park City PD for assistance on this incident.

Final: No. 3 UConn 64, Georgetown 62. Huskies tempt fate again and go 2-for-8 from foul line over final 2 minutes, but hang on to improve to 18-1, 8-0.

Literary agents: start the year off right. (Editors are not emailing you back this week anyway.) Check out MediaScout and get in touch with me about how Ingram can better serve you and your clients: themediascout.com.

NEWS! I am so thrilled to help authors in this new way. What is MediaScout? It's a new stop in the life of your book. It's how filmmakers find you. And since it's built by Ingram, your book is already here. Ask your agent, are we in touch with themediascout.com yet?

TRAIN DREAMS was stunning, and while I wish it had leaned even further into the weirdness of Denis Johnson's novella, it truly captured the poetry of his prose. And yes, it's on MediaScout... themediascout.com

So incredibly excited to announce that I have signed with Alexander Slater at Sanford J. Greenburger! I knew White Trash Witchcraft was something special, but I never in my wildest dreams anticipated ten offers and the absolute rollercoaster that has been this past month. 🧵
