Arts & Letters Daily has been my browser homepage since high school, and the articles I've found there have had a profound impact on my reading, writing, and thinking. So I'm overwhelmed and incredibly grateful to find my own work featured today.

Found a sneaky way to get my name on the cover of a great work of literature. Do yourself a favor and pick up @michaelmagee__’s extraordinary debut, now in paperback.
