We personally know incarcerated writers who have not been paid by PEN America, who have had to track down money from PEN, and have been harmed by its poorly-supervised “support” system. Please read this important piece published by Prism : prismreports.org/2024/04/17/pen…

I spoke to my 23-year-old son last night about the Yarra Valley Grammar 'list' This is how it went. 🧵 It was a bumpy ride, BUT this conversation can and possibly should be uncomfortable. He started off by saying it was just fucking gross and frustrating, but he understood it.

For Literary Hub today, in the wake of the historic bid to reschedule cannabis (though I want full legalization!), I wrote about Carl Sagan's famous essay about getting high, which feels relevant again today: lithub.com/can-we-resched… via Literary Hub

I've noticed children being defensively cropped out of writing lately - there is ~risk~ in "sharenting" but also the fact domestic writing is seen as naff. I looked at the contortions around it for Literary Hub 💫 lithub.com/at-the-coal-se…

This is shitty news, it was so cool to see what Meaghan O'Connell and Elizabeth Angell did with Romper. I'm so lucky to have gotten to work with dream colleagues Margaret Wheeler Johnson april daniels hussar and many fab writers there taking motherhood off-road. sucks!

My wife is reading the Rachel Cusk book about motherhood and occasionally I’ll catch her putting it down, sighing deeply, and staring off into space. Chat, is this good?

If you've ever had a mother's day (or father's day) craft, gift, or card from a kid that you took *personally* (like "so THIS is what they think of me"), I would love to chat for a story: janetamanley @ gmail.com
