Only those who said “most contemporary American literary fiction is bad” are unsullied

My unhinged opinion is that many people I used to respect are, it turns out, idiots

Anne Trubek @atrubek.bsky.social · 9h

Many of you have sorely disappointed me: this unhinged literary opinion moment better end soon

The Gold is good if you’re looking for something kinda basic and also well done to watch

Oh thank you! He’s not quite ready to give up the dream but maybe this will help

there are a few actual women publisher memoirs in this thread that were new to me so I've ordered them. But there are SO MANY publisher memoirs in total--they are just written after retirement etc. Like every 19th c publisher wrote one it seems!

This is our 20th-some city anthology & there is an alchemy that can happen when editor, community, and writers bind together. It's happening with Rockford, and it's been immensely gratifying watching it happen. A slate of events are scheduled for what the mayor has decreed Rockford Anthology Week!!

The best part of moving back to Rockford has been Screw City’s literary community.

Super excited to get my copy of The Rockford Anthology, edited by the spectacular Rachel León and published by one of my new favorite indie presses @beltpublishing.bsky.social.
