Got to celebrate a wonderful book from wonderful @zachpowers.bsky.social last night! Read this book, friends! And give my bud all his 🌸🌺🌼!

For about a year now I've been fantasizing about an entirely new kind of literary event: exciting, theatrical, and a little bit combative. Yesterday at the @barrelhouse.bsky.social conference, @writesloud.bsky.social, @poeticmoni.bsky.social, and @zachpowers.bsky.social and I pulled it off.

Tomorrow @writesloud.bsky.social, @zachpowers.bsky.social, and @poeticmoni.bsky.social and I are trying something new at this conference: a "panel" entirely driven by audience questions, on-stage arguments, props, and a scoreboard. It's going to get rowdy. You want to be there.

Spot LIT: Zach Powers Takes Over at the Writer’s Center

The local author's goal is to make writers sit up, take notice, and say, “Now, I haven’t seen that before!” Plus July releases and events.

How many craft books went into writing my own, THE UNRULY WRITER? At least this many. And now my book is in the process of finding a home, so stay tuned! Bonus: tiny cat head.

I got some coffee to "only have a little" and actually managed to not drink the whole thing. Today I am an adult.

He was, and will forever be, our Huckleberry.

With just 4 DAYS until the release of THE DEATH AND LIFE OF AUGUST SWEENEY by @samuelashworth.bsky.social, there's still to preorder a copy if you haven't already done so! buff.ly/4bm81sr @zachpowers.bsky.social

Why is this chair so uncomfortable today, he asks of the six shirts draped one on top of the other over the back.

It was my immense pleasure to talk with @zachpowers.bsky.social at the Writer's Center about writing, dead bodies, and why "what's your process?" is the most futile question in the world!
