“Collective Nouns for Humans in the Wild” featured in Advanced Creative Nonfiction: A Writer’s Guide & Anthology (Bloomsbury)

I’m honored and thrilled that my work is featured in the latest Bloomsbury Writer’s Guide, edited by Sean Prentiss and Jessica Hendry Nelson, which will be available later this month. (This is actually my second appearance in the series. I also have a story in Short-Form Creative Writing, edited by H.K. Hummel & Stephanie Lennox.)

This is going to be a brilliant resource for all writers and teachers of CNF. I can’t wait to get my hands on my copy.

I’m also so proud to share space with writers I have long admired: Abigail Thomas, Jill Talbot, Elissa Washuta, Ross Gay, Melissa Febos, Amy Butcher, Ira Sukrungruang, Major Jackson, Peter Grandbois, and more.

Do check out The Central Question podcast on their website where each episode features a conversation with one author from the book about one chapter of the book, a first-ever web-based glossary and taxonomy of terms for creative nonfiction, and, a forthcoming syllabus repository.

And thanks, as ever, to Christopher James at Jellyfish Review, who took a chance and published this piece right after the mass shooting in Las Vegas in October, 2017.
