Congratulations, Robyn, on your forthcoming story collection - it sounds terrific! And that Steve Almond quote helps me to focus (and stay relatively sane). Thanks for the mention. 📗
Thanks, Niki. The rejection is just part of it, but an important part of it. I hope it’s useful for other folks to know they’re not alone if they’re experiencing the same thing.
Congratulations! This is so exciting and I am really looking forward to following the progress (and hopefully success) of Galiot Press. Can't wait to read your book, as well.
Yes, Louisa, when I talked to Henriette and Anjali about what they’re trying to do at Galiot, I was all in. So much about publishing as it exists isn’t working. Happy to be a part of trying something different.
Glad you are my friend. I hope you like the stories, which are my big old love letter to small towns and all their beauty and weirdness and all the amazing people who live there.
Robyn I have always loved your newsletters but what’s really sold me on this story collection is the singular title “Don Blankman Saves the Youth of America” and I can’t wait to read it ! 🖤

Yes, I’m really working on getting a nice framed version to hang in my writing room. It’s just such great and simple truth.
It really is.
The book sounds wonderful! Can't wait to read it.
Congratulations! Very happy for you! And so appreciate your insights about the realistic writing journey. Keep on keeping on.
