So excited that City of Laughter is out today in the UK! ❤️
7 Nov 2024
A rich and riveting debut spanning four generations of Eastern European Jewish women bound by blood, half-hidden secrets and the fantastical visitation of a shapeshifting stranger over the course of 100 years.

I couldn’t blurb as many debut novels this year as I did last year bc I was busy touring but - here are 5 coming in 2025! Debut novels need a lot of support to thrive, especially now, so I hope you’ll consider picking one or a couple up!

I simply do not understand how we are already booking events for mid 2025. In my mind it is March 2024

Every time I read a book by a friend and it ends up being a book I really love, regardless of our friendship, a part of my soul lights up

This month I barely drank, made salads for lunch, read ten books, and worked out 3-4 times a week and i feel great. Please don't tell me, of all things - balance is the secret to health

Ah yes, letter of recommendation season has begun again
A plea once more to institutions to eliminate this antiquated and problematic gatekeeping tradition

and yes I will write letters, i always say yes - but what about the people who don't have network? Who don't live in the US?
When i was applying to MFA programs I had to get letters from a coworker and my undergraduate RA bc i didn't know anyone

Have been stuck for a month, unable to move forward on a book, so I moved to a former manuscript I had paused, and here we are, 1500 words down today. Is this the literary equivalent of f-king your ex? How the writing gods keep us writing but prevent us from finishing anything
