I recently had a piece accepted at a journal that I have been submitting to (and getting rejected from) for 10 years.
Tenacity > Talent.
This is how I know I will meet all my literary goals. Eventually!
Check out this amazing issue including my interview with debut novelist Kate Broad! We discuss building characters, writing social critique, the retrospective narrator, and much more.
I was Kate’s editor at @therumpus.net , and speaking to her about her debut was enlightening! Short story authors making the leap to novel writing should seriously engage with her insights.
This is a really unusual author interview because it has a tight focus on the writing residency experience. I think those considering doing a residency would find Marjee's perspective interesting!
Wise words from debut novelist Kate Broad! Read the rest of our interview at the incredible @splitlipthemag.bsky.social !
At least once every few days, I think about what we all lost when Jim Croce died in that plane crash. The man was 30 and had already written more enduring music than many of the greats that came after.
My short essay on J.A. Baker's The Peregrine appears in the Spring 2026 issue of Boulevard. Print only, and you can order a copy here: www.boulevardmagazine.org/print-subscr...
Congrats to @zyzzyvamag.bsky.social on a beautiful, standing room-only issue launch event last evening at @citylightsbooks.bsky.social in SF! It was great to meet the editors and hear some lovely excerpts. Can’t wait to dig in!

My @splitlipthemag.bsky.social interview with Kate Broad made the rounds, so here's a 2025 debut author chat!
For @therumpus.net, I spoke with @egreenberg.bsky.social about her collection "Alterative Facts!" We talk voice and how to fictionalize "real" figures.

We’re always imposing our own subjectivity. Perfect empathy is unattainable.
