Hi! I'm Gail, and I write about transformative relationships.
What a joy to be interviewed by @gmschwartz.bsky.social, an editor at @hotchpotchliterary.bsky.social about my recent story, "Goat Season." Check out the spring issue of Hotch Potch. Great stories in conversation w art by the talented Emma Tumanyan. gailmarleneschwartz.substack.com/p/she-wants-...

People's stories, when told compellingly, move me deeply, and this one was particularly lovely. If you're a creative person, if you love the ocean, if you are interested in writing, check out my interview with writer Philippi Herndon of Hotch Potch Literature and Art issue 5.1.
Many thanks to @gmschwartz.bsky.social and the folks there for giving me the opportunity to write something longer, and @emilyrinkema.bsky.social for great feedback along the way! Oh: and the movie The World’s End for dialogue inspo.

Birthing a book is such a complex and emotional experience. I am incredibly fortunate to have a partner who both illustrated the book and has also supported me fully throughout the process. Love you! #boyhoodreimagined #sapphicbooks #lgbtqparents #lesbianmoms #QueerParents #queerbooks
The GENIUS Act—a “crypto regulation bill”—has received attention for failing to address Trump’s conflict-of-interest concerns. It’s so much worse than that. The bill amounts to “a hostile takeover of the money supply”, enabling the privatization of money by Big Tech & undermining the U.S. dollar.
