I’m going to be in a documentary! And you could be in it with me! The film is abt a bookish road trip, and you could appear in it as my “Cheer-Reader!” Just go to and select the Cheer-Reader tier, then select me. The project could use some cheering on 🙂

Caroline and I wrote a novelette together (“Collaboration?”). Here she talks about some of the ideas that inspired us. There’s a lot packed into this story, and we’d love to hear your thoughts!

ICYMI, @kyliu99 and I have a novelette out this month in the 50th issue of @UncannyMagazine ! “Collaboration?” is a playful and very meta look at what it means to collaborate.
