New Work on DIY MFA

Reading my poetry at the Three Rooms Press Prose! Poetry! Party!

I am pleased to announce that I have two new articles up on DIY MFA. If you're considering submitting your book to a publisher, check out The Eight Most Common Reasons I Send a Rejection, and if you've already signed a contract, here are some practical suggestions for How to Streamline Your Editing Experience. 

And, belatedly, I'm excited to share with you that DIY MFA named me one of five writers who made an impact on that site! Thank you to Gabriela Pereira, Bess Cozby, and the team at DIY MFA for this honor! 

Now on DIY MFA: Part 2 of the Book Publication Process

Continuing in my role as regular columnist for DIY MFA, I've written Part 2 of "A Walk-Through of the Book Publication Process." And even better, it's now up for you to read on the DIY MFA website. If you're thinking about writing a novel or submitting to agents/editors, give it a read. I try to dispel some common misconceptions and give you a real sense of what it will take to turn your manuscript into a proper, published book.

Read the full article here. Got any questions about the process? Send me a message or leave a comment below and I would be glad to answer!

Book Launch: WEIRD GIRL AND WHAT'S HIS NAME

Join me this Friday, October 9 as Three Rooms Press presents The Monthly at Cornelia Street Cafe:

An Evening with
MEAGAN BROTHERS
Celebrating the release of brand new novel
WEIRD GIRL AND WHAT’S HIS NAME

Friday, October 9, 6 p.m.

Award-winning LGBT YA author MEAGAN BROTHERS celebrates the release of her extraordinary new novel WEIRD GIRL AND WHAT’S HIS NAME with a reading at Cornelia Street Cafe on Friday, October 9 at 6 p.m.

“An Evening with Meagan Brothers” will feature the author—whose previous books include Debbie Harry Sings in French and Supergirl Mixtapes—reading from her new book and sharing stories about what inspired it. A book signing follows the reading.

The new release has already received rave pre-publicity praise. In a starred review, American Library Association’s Booklist says, “The characters are wonderfully likable, the story is smartly written.” Kirkus Reviews notes, “Voices are crisply and intimately drawn . . . Carefully and subtly imagined.” Lambda Award winning author Alex Sanchez (Rainbow Boys) says “Tender characters, tangled romances, and page turning mysteries weave together wonderfully in this exquisite story of love, betrayal, and friendship.” And noted author Janice Erlbaum (Girlbomb) raves, “As someone who’s been both a weird girl and a what’s her name, I heartily endorse this book.”

Copies of WEIRD GIRL AND WHAT’S HIS NAME will be available for purchase and signing at the event. 

Cornelia Street Cafe, 29 Cornelia Street (btwn W. 4th & Bleecker), 212-989-9319.
