Today the Atlantic reviewed my new novel and also announced the death of literacy in what is widely agreed to be a coincidence.

Curtis Ippolito@curtisippolito.bsky.social · last mo.Today’s the day! Publication day for Waves of Burden. It’s surreal.

My novels NEGATIVE GIRL and THE BIG REWIND are both part of the sale, so now is a good time to pick them up (if you haven't already)

Just learned House of Bone and Rain is 55% off! That’s a very cheap hardcover, and it’s pretty, too! Get you some. Tell a friend. Get your mom a copy. Buy one to use as a weapon. Let’s party. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0316...
Publication day is one week from today. I have all the feelings, but mostly excitement. Can’t wait for everyone to read about Drew, Jake, Gaby, and San Diego! The paperback is available for preorder nearly everywhere, including your local bookstore, Bookshop, and Barnes & Noble.
Happy pub day to the talented @cmattwrite.bsky.social and his new novel THE ONES IN THE CORNER!
C. Matthew Smith@cmattwrite.bsky.social · 2mo agoTHE ONES IN THE CORNER is out in the world! If you fancy a strange and violent tour of an Atlanta underworld I totally made up, but probably also existed in some form, check it out. And if you like it, I’d sure appreciate you telling your friends and leaving a review on Goodreads or Amazon.
Learning about incredible works of literature past their initial publication dates is a goddamn joy, like what just happened to me with @cwblackwell.bsky.social's "The Kings of Ghost City," c/o @reckonreview.bsky.social. Holy hell, it's a precise, outstanding story. reckonreview.com/the-kings-of...

Happy to share that my story, “The Kings of Ghost City,” made the 2026 BAMS Distinguished list with some very talented writers. Thank you @meaganlucas.bsky.social and @reckonreview.bsky.social for taking a chance with it!!
In my career I've been blessed to travel the world and ive never been to a country where the ppl chasing down brown and black ppl were the good guys. Whats happening in Northern Ireland/Belfast is disgusting and if you're justifying it you're disgusting too
Just pre-ordered a paperback copy of @curtisippolito.bsky.social’s new novel from my favorite local bookstore @bookshopsantacruz.bsky.social and I suggest you do the same!
All the blurbs for WAVES OF BURDEN. Incredibly grateful for these talented authors and their kind words and support. June 24. Preorder now. www.barnesandnoble.com/w/waves-of-b...
The hype is real. I think this one inched out LAST KING OF CALIFORNIA as my new favorite Harper novel. If you’re in a reading rut, this book will pull you out—but it won’t be gentle about it. Man, I just couldn’t put it down.
I’m not on Threads, so can someone please tell Stephen King that I read Salem’s Lot in fifth grade and therefore this is all his fault?
