"The authors’ collective voice⎯a marvel of craft, this one cohesive voice from two writers⎯blends David Attenborough’s pathos with Carl Sagan’s awe and a dash of Werner Herzog’s bleakness." A book review of The Sound Atlas by @michaelavieser.bsky.social and I over at @hippocampusmag.bsky.social

Listen, be inspired, repeat. I have several, but this is one of my all time favorite Between the Covers interviews.

Looking for a good writing podcast? Flash reader Christina D’Antoni recommends BETWEEN THE COVERS by David Naimon. "Especially the Bhanu Kapil and Caren Beilin episodes. There are SO many good ones, but I've saved those two in particular when I need to let a little extra light in. ✨ "

I LOVE this interview!

While analyzing our 2025 submission data, I noticed that the US is now the primary producer of slop submissions (which includes fully and partially-generated/assisted/whatever). Congrats. You're #1. Happy? You should be embarrassed. Please stop. (In 2023 and 2024, the US wasn't in the top three.)

So excited for Between the Covers new home!

Much as Adania Shibli was censored by the Frankfurt Book Fair, Randa Abdel-Fattah has been removed from the Adelaide Writers Festival. Her book is about silencing. We discuss at length the many ways, small & large, public & behind the scenes, Palestinian voices are silenced

Outstanding letter!!! Yes, to human beings and the human children we are responsible for raising.

Started 2026 off by reading and loving Playground by Richard Powers. Now it's time to go back and listen to this interview with @davidnaimon.bsky.social. Loved Overstory as well. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJcf...

I saw this in the late 90s and early 2000s with my dance students. I've been on about this for years. So glad to see it being talking about. youtube.com/shorts/gr4ND...

2026 is a good time to start a new podcast and @wilwheaton.net It's Storytime is a great one!

Wil Wheaton ❌👑@wilwheaton.net · 7mo ago

I've been reading my editor's selections for upcoming episodes of It's Storytime. I expected them to be great (they are) but what I didn't expect was how *different* they would all be. Y'all, if these authors say yes, we're gonna bring you such a wonderful variety of speculative fiction in 2026!

the transcript is up for the conversation with Randa Abdel-Fattah: tinhouse.com/transcript/b...

Looking forward to this! It sounds so compelling...and the cover!
