How to write a satisfying novel
Photo courtesy Jess Krcmar PhotographStory time: Way back in 2023, on the long tail of Entry Level: Stories successes, I was querying agents for my completed novel, then called Jane with a Why (and before that, Fake Internet Friends and before that All This and before that Shitty Sharky Sharkness WIP because I always name my drafts with curses as a way to fake myself out that the drafts don’t

Lisa Houlihan's review
of
Entry Level (Autumn House Press Fiction Prize):
"This eclectic collection of stories has something for everyone, the mundane and the unworldly and a lot in between. From caring for an aging parent to caring for an ancient relic, from a small town in Wisconsin to the shattered focus of San Francisco"

“I will plant my flag, devise blog fodder for its best and most captivating narrative, take roughly 3020 photos to load into a $2700 software program to make ultra-bright, ultra- rich, ultra-sharp, ultra-saturated, and ultra-beautiful, until I’m not even sure I witnessed this through a flat glass eye, was I even here, did I even see these things?
It doesn’t matter. The readers matter. Or their browser sessions matter, clicks, views, endless hunger for new content to appease the site- indexing angry gods.” Wendy Wimmer |

"Yes! Other reviewers have mentioned magical realism (or is it?,) horror (I'd say mildly,) dark and sassy? Yes. Poignant? Frequently. It's an oddball collection of stories that truly vary but have this one underlying commonality: they are so well writ"

“Normally, you don’t think about how many times you do laps. If you do, you start to get a little dizzy, go all Camus about the futility
of the situation. Your laces on the right side start to get loose from always turning against them. Normally I switch it up, do a little fancy
footwork and skate backward for a bit, but what if that messed up the youth magic? What if I sped up time instead of reversing it
and my face melted off like the Nazis when they opened the Ark of the Covenant?”

“In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can’t build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death. I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness, I hear the ever approaching thunder, which will destroy us too, I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquility will return again.”

“Sometimes Evelyn got stuck on a word, using it for everything until it started to mean nothing and everything. This week, it was “world.” Everything was the world. The world was everything. It made sense from that vantage point, but the previous week, it had been “wax,” which had the bonus quality of being both a noun and a verb. I waxed her breakfast of wax and then had the wax to give her wax when she really wanted the world. World? Whirled. Whorled. Were Eld. Was she working her way through the dictionary? It was like the language of flowers, a song heard in a different lifetime.”
