spx is this weekend! (& i moved!)
hey, y'all!
i'm here to tell you about small press expo, mostly, but first i hope you'll indulge a little rambling, because in between the last time i wrote to you and now, i've moved to a new city.
so i'm writing this from my new apartment in baltimore. it has giant windows with old-timey shutters that don't quite open or close all the way and a windowsill big enough for me to sit on while i'm sewing. it's the first time i've lived alone & had a space that was entirely mine to do whatever i want with (within the bounds of my lease, because, uh, obviously i'm renting, so i can't do any wild alterations), and even though i miss new york somethin fierce, it feels really good to have a home to myself.
if you know anything at all about my work, you probably know i have a lot of really complicated thoughts about the nature of houses and homes. i've rarely in my life had any space that really felt like a home — all my houses and apartments have been haunted by something or other. i'm excited to have someplace i can make feel like a home myself! it feels good! i'm gonna put up halloween decorations today!
anyways. i don't have much else to tell you today, aside from the big thing in the title:
✨ small press expo is this weekend! ✨
spx is held at the bethesda north marriott hotel in bethesda, md (near dc). i'll be tabling there for the very first time, and i'm extremely excited about it! you can find me at table W24B along the back wall.
you can buy tickets here or at the door. i hope i see some of y'all there! please stop by my table and say hello!

i had the pleasure of drawing the cover for the fall/winter 2022 issue of diet milk magazine, a a biannual literary magazine devoted to gothic prose, poetry, and art.
