what's the point of trying/writing
aka WHY THE FUCK AM I DOING THIS AGAIN
Welcome to the Sunday post.
I’ll be talking with Myriam Gurba, the author of Creep: Accusations and Confessions, on Thursday, September 21st at Diesel Bookstore in Brentwood at 6:30 p.m.
Free subscribers! The first one or two of you who converts to becoming a paid *annual* subscriber gets a free copy of Creep mailed to you. You pay $70 for a subscription and receive the hardcover of my favorite book of 2023 ($27, but free for you!). Pretty nice. I bought a few copies to give to smart readers, so take advantage of this!
The next FRONT SEAT OFFICE HOUR for paid subscribers is happening on Friday, September 29th at 1pm-2pm Pacific. RSVP to wendycortiz at substack dot com to join us for a brief q&a if there are q’s and an opportunity to co-work, cameras on or off, for the hour.
Check out all the mini-interviews to date, and look out for the next one to roll up this Thursday.
The first EXIT INTERVIEW will appear September 28th.
More details to come, but mark your calendar for our first live Zoom event: a conversation between Vickie Vértiz, author of Auto/Body, published by the University of Notre Dame Press and winner of the Ernest Sandeen Prize in Poetry, and Jessica Ceballos y Campbell, on Thursday, October 19th at 2pm Pacific via Zoom. Already excited? You can RSVP now to wendycortiz at substack dot com and a Zoom link will be emailed to you the day before the event.
