Failure to Comply!

Hello all!

I never thought this day would come...but it's here! My debut novel, Failure to Comply, is now available for US pre-order (ft. an excerpt) at featherproof.

Learn more about the cover at the Chicago Review of Books (!!).

If you're interested in an ARC for review, feel free to contact me and I can put you in touch with the press. People worldwide can request an e-ARC.

Okay...I think that's all. Thanks for reading. Love you!

swallow::tale books

Hi everyone! For those who don't know, I now-co-run a small press, swallow::tale (www.swallowtale.icu) centering Mad writers & Mad works. Our first novel, Briar Ripley Page's CORRUPTED VESSELS, comes out 9/24, and our first poetry book, Shane Neilson's REVOLUTIONARY DOCTRINE OF THE TRUE FAITH, comes out 10/08.

I know a lot of you really enjoy doing reviews, whether here, on your blog, or for magazines. If you're interested in trans, disabled, Mad, surreal, unruly poetry and prose and would like a review copy of either or both books, email me at cavar@swallowtale.icu.

Either way, feel free to mark them as "want to read" and share with friends! You can also pre-order them directly (and purchase our first pamphlet, I MISS THE KNOWING by a.c.d.) at www.swallowtale.icu/bookstore.

Excited to hear from you!
