Edited by the host of the Peri-Normal podcast Stephanie Sprenger, REDACTED: WHAT DIVORCED WOMEN AREN'T TELLING YOU, a collection of twenty-five anonymous essays, in which women from around the world break the silence imposed by custody agreements, toxic shame, and the cultural mandate to "be a good (ex-)wife" and tell the true stories surrounding their divorces, to Third Rail Press, in a nice deal, for publication in August 2027.

excited to have a deeply personal essay forthcoming in this anthology with Third Rail Press, August 2027.

after living comphet for decades, i took back the reins to my life. it was hard as shit—still is. there are many things no one tells you about divorce. in this book are some of those realities.

Sometimes I forget how to write and think I have to know what to write or how to do it before I start and so I don't start until I just can't take it anymore and start anyway thinking I don't know how to do this and then I write and I like it and it works and I remember that that is how it works

Look at the new babyyyy

Thank you to the great Agustina Bazterrica for the kind words!

I'm forever amazed by this guy...

Yesterday: "Damn, this book I'm writing is pretty good!"
Today: "Dude, is this the shittiest thing I've ever written? I think it is!"
Life of the writer, baby. Half the work is just pushing through constant uncertainty.

Oh, this sounds fun!

Just watched a video of Ray Bradbury saying the typewriter is a Ouija board and then he hovered his hands and fingers as if typing and nothing has ever made me want to write more

Nat Cassidy I Know A Place Book Cover

@natcassidy.bsky.social knows a place, and it's south of where your ribcage meets your sternum. Other places he knows as well, along dark, lonesome highways and deep in the desert. And in corner bars where anything might happen. You never know where he's going to take you.

I love editing.

"Oh, I know what I need here!"

Interview w/ Luke Dumas is now streaming! We chat about his latest novel (on shelves today), Nothing Tastes As Good, a book that feels ESSENTIAL in today's world, the experience of writing it, and the unique perspective shifts within these pages. Links:

jane fonda gay rights YouTube video by Jordan's Hollywood Stories

every so often, I rewatch this amazing 2-minute clip of Jane Fonda being interviewed about gay rights in 1979.

her warmth, tone, and words are extraordinarily inspiring. “I hope they use me. What am I here for if not to be used by good people for good things?”

Every author you admire was once exactly where you are.

Staring at a draft wondering if it's good enough.

Worried that no one will read it — or worse, that people WILL, and they'll hate it.

But they kept going, through all the doubts.
