Saddened to learn of the death of Michael Denneny, a brilliant and fearless editor and a wonderful colleague to me (in 2 houses, SMP and Crown) and to many others. This interview conveys some of his pioneering career as a gay editor 1/ lambdaliterary.org/2014/10/m…

What’s the difference between a #BookTok influencer and a #bookstagram influencer?
