Here’s my beautiful book haul from @barrelhouse.bsky.social Writers Camp last month @tmcallister.bsky.social @housleydave.bsky.social @poeticmoni.bsky.social @avitusbcarle.bsky.social @thewritelifeliz.bsky.social @danieldifranco.bsky.social Diana Smith Bolton Emily Kiernan

After a looong hiatus from blogging, I wrote about my experience thus far publishing my 1st chapbook of micros & flash. With special shout-outs to books by @carabensonwriter.bsky.social and Liz Rosen @thewritelifeliz.bsky.social mattjakubowski.com/2026/07/08/m...

Went to Lincoln Center to see ABT for the first time over the weekend. I loved it. Saw Don Q, my first time

And it just received its first review — a stellar one! I’d love to send out signed copies if you’d like one. $10, free US shipping.

I saw this bug at @barrelhouse.bsky.social writers camp and haven’t stopped thinking about it since. (It’s 3 inches long.) The most terrifyingly beautiful bug I’ve ever seen in Pennsylvania.

Today I have a new a micro at the ever delightful litmag @somewordslit.bsky.social (which if you’ve never seen it is formatted like an old-school message board ✨✨✨) somewords.boards.net/thread/165/m...

For @necessaryfiction.com Research Notes series, I was invited to write a flash essay about my debut chapbook. It turned into a hybrid of process notes, life changes & more. necessaryfiction.com/researchnote...

I know a lot of you must be on Insta too but I haven’t found many of you there yet. Would love to connect if so! I’m over there floundering around, but it’s fun most of the time 🙂 www.instagram.com/matt_jakubow...

It’s been a while since I published a nonfiction piece, let alone a personal essay. So it’s wonderful to be back in @necessaryfiction.com writing about my new chapbook. Thanks again to @shimmer.bsky.social for the chance to sort of bare my soul like this. necessaryfiction.com/researchnote...

Many thanks to the team at @vestalreview.bsky.social for listing my new chapbook of micros & flash, “Ghost in the Rain,” in their 2026 publication listings. Such a great service to provide to short fiction writers working with small indie publishers. www.vestalreview.net/new-flash-fi...
