Join my Advance Reader Community

Get a new story on the first of each month, before it's published anywhere else.

You'll receive a new story on the first of each month. Each story will be available for thirty days and accessible only through the link in your email—not on my general website. Think of yourself as an insider, getting an early look at work that's headed toward publication.

At the bottom of each story, you'll find a feedback link. I'd love to hear what you think. You don't need to know anything about literature or writing theory—I want your honest reaction, in your own words.

Most writers work in a vacuum, rarely hearing from actual readers. Your perspective is gold to me. The feedback form is anonymous, and I'll use your insights as I shape the final drafts I send to publishers.

You don't have to respond every time, but when you do, know that it matters deeply.
