the festival? the festival!

the BOOK festival?

hello!!

A few days ago we passed the 1-year anniversary of this substack! Thanks so much for reading - it’s been such a joy to get to communicate in a way that’s longer than instagram comments! Moving forward, I’m going to try and do more newsletters dedicated to a certain theme - writing advice, etc - and if there’s anything you want me to tackle, please let me know!

We are ALSO about a month from Darcy & Russell coming out. May 7th!! SO SOON!!

!!!!!!

Which means that book festival season is coming!!

I’m going to be at the North Texas Teen Book festival in April - talking Promchanted, and D&R! (And let’s face it, TTPD.)

And then I’m coming to YALLWEST in May!

AND! We’ll be selling Darcy & Russell EARLY! So you can get a copy before anyone else hurrah!! I hope to see you there!

On Monday, I’ll announce my launch event and TOUR STOPS! It’s all happening so soon, and I can’t wait! So excited for this book to be in the world, and to get to talk to you about it!

I hope to see you in Texas and/or Santa Monica!

xoxo

ps - the title of this newsletter is mostly for the former theater kids, most of whom I now hope are humming Into the Woods!
