I had the privilege of speaking with @anandwrites.bsky.social about why narrative nonfiction matters now more than ever. I’m so grateful to Anand, and so looking forward to reading his forthcoming work of narrative nonfiction, MAN IN THE MIRROR. the.ink/p/how-a-con-...

i am late with my congrats to the amazing @pamelacolloff.bsky.social and her gripping true crime book CATCH THE DEVIL which is just out and i can't wait to read it. About a con man who implicated other prisoners in crimes to get himself sweetheart deals. It's gotten fantastic reviews

It's no surprise that @pamelacolloff.bsky.social's "Catch the Devil" is as gripping and insightful as I expected. The amount of research is staggering, yet the narrative never gets bogged down in it. This is an excellent book expertly told by a a master storyteller. Highly recommended.

"I had an outline that my book editor had approved. It all looked good on paper, but there were years, really, of changing the structure, recalibrating what the storytelling was." @pamelacolloff.bsky.social in conversation with @markarms.bsky.social niemanstoryboard.org/2026/07/17/h... #booksky

Some quick hits: SURVIVAL OF THE THICKEST was such a fun, lovely show and I'm sad it's over. Sophia Benoit's THE VERY DEFINITION OF LOVE is a great regency romance novel. I'm excited to dive into @pamelacolloff.bsky.social's CATCH THE DEVIL, which is out now! I loved THE SHEEP DETECTIVES! The end.

Jailhouse informants are a leading cause of wrongful convictions, prompting some states to regulate their use. Journalist @pamelacolloff.bsky.social argues these new safeguards are not enough—we also need to review the old cases. Read the latest from @postopinions.bsky.social: wapo.st/4534jS6

Opinion | He had an incentive to lie. Then he testified in 37 cases.

Jailhouse testimony can earn witnesses a lighter sentence. Is that a problem?
