Inspired by @AvashiaNeema, @darjeun, and #NationalLibraryWeek, here's the WV library that supplied me with orange-covered biographies and Joan Aiken novels, where the writer I would become started to unfurl, to dream of the next word or chapter or book. @MarionCoLibs

This little library made me a reader, and then a writer. Within its walls, I only heard “Yes.” Yes, check out as many books as you can. Yes, read to understand the world and yourself. Celebrating libraries as cornerstones of both democracy and humanity, this week and always. ❤️

I spoke with @caseyparks for @oxfordamerican about how her memoir 'Diary of a Misfit' captures the South's contradictions surrounding gender and #LGBTQ identity, and how she was changed by writing it.

Hey, WV friends-if you know a young person who could really use some love right now in the face of all the hate coming down from the WV legislature, DM me. I’m giving away 10 copies of Another Appalachia to young LGBTQ+ West Virginians.

Something I’ve learned during the book pub process: Expatalachians are everywhere. They work at Brown and Barrelhouse and CNN and Salon. In Boston libraries and Chicago bookstores. And they lift up our stories every chance they get. ❤️
