Sorry that my weekly talk story is running a day late but I wanted to give Hema Nataraju the chance to introduce Literary Namjooning to the world! I am so honored to be a part of this journey with her and with Lakshmi Iyer, and to share in the legacy of her wonderful sister.

I hope you check out the website to feel Literary Namjooning’s vibe and send something in when we open for submissions June 3! I look forward to reading your submissions!

I am also working hard on those AWP panel proposals. I am so grateful to everyone who has asked to be a part of one! I really hope one of them gets chosen.

I still have some spots left for my Plural POV workshop if you want to hang out and write with me!

Finally, it’s been a week, and I am so ready for the weekend. So here’s to all of us surviving, thriving, creating and being. Sending light, love, and, as always, creativity!
