We're sad to report that Kate Braverman has died. She was 69 years old. We strongly urge you to read this piece by @xwaldie in the New Yorker about her razor-sharp & versatile work. newyorker.com/books/page-tur…

"Bell to Coover, to Bakhtin, to Barthes. I start to wonder, 'Where are the women in this?' Is it only men who mark the path, coin the terms for the way we tell stories?" @PromptPress @IowaReview longreads.com/2019/09/20/how…

"It’s the type of story that trained young writers to read for plot and to leave images or detail unpacked, no matter how disturbing, no matter what information they contained. My student, I now see, was on to something." @PromptPress @IowaReview longreads.com/2019/09/20/how…

And no one is talking about how this extends into publishing and publicity. Help keep @BitchMedia alive!
This year alone we've already seen 18 outlets shutter their print magazines or disappeared entirely. We're in the midst of a print crisis, and this time we're not sure Bitch will make it out unscathed.
We need to raise $150,000 to #KeepBitchInPrint: bit.ly/2NgjEsR
