For the first-year anniversary, I'm finally expanding this newsletter's goals with something I've always wanted to offer: an advice column on all things literary, appropriately named Queeries!

We're starting this one off with some exciting news! Since the beginning of the year, I've been working with GrubStreet, the creative writing nonprofit of Boston, to bring you our first annual Be Queer, Write Books: LGBTQ+ Literary Festival!

If last month was Pride, then this month is Wrath. Go ahead and feel angry about all that's happening to our various communities. Anger is a helpful way to fuel the fires we need to create change, but it can also poison us if we don't keep it in check.
