Every other week, I send out a newsletter as part of my Tuesday Telegrams; one is on writing, publishing, and craft, and the other personal reflections on my life and the times. THE BRUISING OF QILWA, my Crawford-, Locus-, and World Fantasy-nominated novella set in a queernormative, Persian-inspired world, is out now from Tachyon Publications. My queer MG mushroom horror debut, THE GLADE, is out now from Aladdin, an imprint of Simon & Schuster. I regularly teach writing classes focused on inclusive and marginalized storytelling at organizations like Tin House, Clarion West, Carl Brandon Society, and Roots. Wounds. Words.
