2022
So, Fall has got me off and running, I read and reviewed a fabulous graphic retelling of The Secret Garden, entitled “The Secret Garden on 81st Street” by Ivy Noelle Weir Illustrated by Amber Padilla for The Wave.
I was also invited to participate in the first ever Nifty Lit reading, where I read my piece “Sick Day”.
July has been a busy month for me! My short story Sick Day was published by NiftyLit, Issue #7 of Kelp Journal was published which includes a review by yours truly, and Kelp Books’ craft book Published: A Craft Guide also came out. Check out my purchase section for details.
As of July 2022, I am the new assistant managing editor at Kelp Journal. Also, as of July 2022, Kelp Journal no longer has a photography section. Issue #7 is the last time you will see that section. It was so much fun to head that section for the last three years.
Starting at the beginning of 2022, I have become the editor of “The Wave” the weekly blog for Kelp Journal. Check it out here to see all that I have been up to.
Review of both the book and exhibit The Curious World of Seaweed by Josie Iselin for Kelp Journal.
