Conferences and book fairs!

Gosh, I am so excited!

I was recently featured in my publisher’s latest magazine! It is the second time that my name and work has appeared on the printed page. It’s also the very first entry in the magazine, which is a huge honor. I am so grateful for Alien Buddha Press for taking a chance on me and publishing my work to the printed page.

I seriously never thought that this would ever be a dream that I could chase.

In return for their kindness for publishing me, I reserved a booth for them (and myself) at this year’s Association of Writers and Writing Programs Conference and Bookfair in Baltimore this year. This is an incredibly ambitious undertaking, but I am ready to step into myself as an author. I am ready to do the work to spread my work wherever I can. I’m ready to scream it to the world and wait for someone to listen.

I got my custom bookmarks last night, also! I’ve found that they are the business cards of the literary world. I spent a good hour formatting it in the exact way that I wanted them. Now, they’re finally here! They have this gorgeous matte finish.

I love them so much! I am so excited for Baltimore. I will get to be doing actual author things in a new city. I will get to explore and see the sights. I am so grateful to be living this life. That’s really all that I have today. Enjoy this photo of the practice booth setup!
