This morning I learned that my craft essay, “The Cult of Likeability (or Why You Should Kill Your Literary Friendships)” was accepted for publication in Triquarterly eight days after I submitted it, which is a great way to end 2019. Among other things, this piece takes a couple big swings at likeability as a literary metric in fiction workshop, literature seminars, & editorial rejections. Stay tuned for more on this piece!
