I might be the art director he's talking about. Cover art: @johnnymuggins.bsky.social (John Patrick Higgins), inspired by @guillermostitch.bsky.social's THE COAST OF EVERYTHING (Dickens weeps over breakfast cereal). Back cover, me, inspired by John Patrick Higgins ;) @exactingclam.bsky.social

Turns out getting an Art Director in has its advantages. Best cover yet, front and back. And this assessment has NOTHING TO DO with the artwork being inspired by my book. @tylergore.bsky.social @johnnymuggins.bsky.social @exactingclam.bsky.social

The back cover of Issue 21 of Exacting Clam, featuring a box of breakfast cereal called 'Little Dorrits'. Artwork by Tyler Gore.

www.washingtonindependentreviewofbooks.com/features/an-... Wow! Here's a lovely interview I did did with @tylergore.bsky.social for the Washington Independent Review of Books, all about my book Spine. He squeezed a lot out. I was a tube of toothpaste between his expert thumb and forefinger.

I had a blast interviewing John Patrick Higgins (@johnnymuggins.bsky.social) for @wirobooks.bsky.social about his wickedly funny bad-back memoir, SPINE. Got to talk about Psycho, the "girl on the rock," and whether humor is a form of mental illness.

Dana Barnes (@dbaredit.bsky.social)'s vivid account of caring for her dying father is told with honesty, humor, and affection. Terrific long-form narrative essay -- poignant, memorable and very readable.

Dana B.@dbaredit.bsky.social · 11mo ago

Early reader reactions: “Wow!” and “your style has bags of character” and “I just had whiskey, but I think this is pretty good.” Give this long-form caregiving narrative essay a read and share your story too if you’d like: open.substack.com/pub/dbarnese...

The thing where it's so hot you keep taking trays of ice out of the freezer to refresh your drink, but it's too hot to bother to refill them, and before you know it, you're out of ice.

@terenabell.bsky.social put together a Bookshop list of great small press titles she's represented. Thanks so much for including MY LIFE OF CRIME, Terena!

As a publicist, I've had the privilege of repping some amazing small press titles lately. Here's a quick list: bookshop.org/lists/favori... @cjspataro.bsky.social @tylergore.bsky.social @whiskeytit.com @saggingmeniscus.bsky.social @clayvermulm.bsky.social

I loved this book! Cary Grant's Suit by Todd McEwen is really a kind of loopy memoir disguised as a book about movies. The subtitle tells you what you're in for: "Nine Movies That Made Me The Wreck I Am Today." I have been a fan of McEwen for decades.

Notting Hill Editions@nottinghilleds.bsky.social · 2y ago

'North by Northwest isn’t about what happens to Cary Grant, it’s about what happens to his suit. The suit has the adventures, a gorgeous New York suit threading its way through America.' (Cary Grant's Suit by Todd McEwen) With no offence to Cary Grant, who was born #OTD in 1904.

@terenabell.bsky.social used her experiences with promoting my collection My Life of Crime to discuss approaches in marketing a collection of personal essays. It's terrifically insightful -- Terena is wonderful publicist, and she certainly helped me a lot. @saggingmeniscus.bsky.social
