Revolution

2013-05-07T16:35:32Z

Revolution #1: The Weeklings eBook anthology is officially on sale as of today! It boasts many of our best pieces from the last year, curated and edited by myself, Greg Olear, Janet Steen and Jennifer Kabat. Not only is it PACKED with great writing, and costs a mere $4.99, EVERY penny goes toward a fund to pay our writers. Literary socialism in action! Artists need to get paid! And this is a great way to do it. Including work by killer writers like: Danbert Nobacon, Elissa Schappell, Patrick Wensink, James Greer, Peter Mountford, Diana Spechler, Quentin Rowan, Bob Devine, and way, way too many more to list. Plus, a bonus Point/Counterpoint with Jess Walter. Buy three! it's SO much cooler than Kickstarter.

This very cool paperback is just out… It's a compilation of stories by some really great writers who also happen to be fathers…my story "Chopper and Tallulah" Is in there, nestled between plenty of other fine pieces. This one is definitely worth snapping up a few copies up…

Stand up for your rights!

2013-04-04T16:12:29Z

This is possibly my favorite thing EVER: got a letter about this young dude who got busted at school during spirit week for wearing a "The Clash Is The Only Band That Matters" shirt on "clash day" even though he was told it meant wearing clashing colors, "not the band." He wore the shirt anyhow, which he had specially made after reading about it in You Killed Wesley Payne. A man has to have heroes, and this young dude is definitely mine. Way to go, O! Besides, we all know Spirit Week is for brown nosers, pep bunnies, and random lames.
