Excited to have new work up today at Autofocus. Thanks to Michael Wheaton for giving this one a good home!
This piece grew out of a flash marathon this summer with writers David K. Gibson, Kim Magowan, and Brittany Terwilliger. Special thanks for Kim’s outstanding anaphora prompt for getting me started!
So lucky to have my story “Swimming for Shore” and an interview about the piece in Sequestrum’s latest reprints issue. Thanks to Ralph Cooper for choosing it!
Shouts out to the amazing Laurie Uttich, Rochelle Hurt, and filmmaker Gabriel Connelly in the interview.
So happy to have this new interview with Ryan Rivas up at Rain Taxi Review of Books.
DOCUMENTING THE SUBURBAN GOTHIC: AN INTERVIEW WITH RYAN RIVAS
Author Ryan Rivas talks about his new book, Nextdoor in Colonialtown (Autofocus), the accidental “truth bombs” of his neighbors’ posts on Nextdoor, and what it means to illustrate the “slippery time” of our historical moment.
Ryan’s an incredibly generous literary citizen, a wildly talented writer, and a genuinely nice person. Excited to help shine a light on the cool work he and Autofocus Books are bringing to the world!
