🧵I've been feeling odd about my debut novel coming out this fall. It's the story of a young woman growing up in a Muslim matriarchy, and defending it from people who don't want it to be a matriarchy titled "Under The Full And Crescent Moon" And I wanted to try and express why I think that is.

“Poems Won’t Buy Beer”

Al Purdy is the patron saint of County Fence Bi-Annual and it could be said it was his poetry that inspired County Fence in the first place. Of course Al’s not alone, I also talk about Jules’ longest standing crush: Margaret Atwood. Ms. Atwood, if you’re listening, Jules would love it if you returned his calls.

Margaret Atwood has written a memoir, which will be out on Nov. 4. Why? "My publishers made me do it," the Canadian novelist told @Vogue in a new interview about the book. "When they first proposed it, I said, ‘Oh, that would be so boring.’ I mean, I wrote a book, I wrote another book, I wrote another book…Who’s going to read that?” Here's more on "Book of Lives: A Memoir of Sorts," plus Atwood's thoughts on what makes a good biography, "The Handmaid's Tale" and its pertinence, and Trump's fixation with making Canada the 51st U.S. state. "I think it’s lovely that the United States has recognized its mistake and wishes to join Canada so they can have a king,” Atwood says, “but it wouldn’t be the 51st state. It would be 10 new states and two territories, which would mean that the Republicans would never get elected again. So he’s welcome to try.”

Sharp Words Poster Hamilton's Winter Book Fair Feb 15 2025
Opinion | Hamilton book fair highlights small presses and the need to buy local (books) “It’s an enormous amount of fun ... You get to celebrate the books and arts and just enjoy yourself.” By Lori Littleton Lori Littleton is a freelance writer who self-published her debut women’s fiction novel, “In Repair,” in October 2024. You can reach her at lorilittleton.com. The world of book publishing is difficult to navigate at the best of times. From languishing in the querying trenches while trying to land an agent to indie publishers learning to understand distribution methods and not getting ripped off by phoney digital markets. And then there’s just plain old working hard at not giving up altogether. But there are other avenues for publishing your work: small presses. And, at the Third Annual Sharp Words: Hamilton’s Winter Book Fair, organizers are focusing on those small presses and how they can help authors get published and find readers. Sharp Words will take place Feb. 15, from 11
