Trans Day of Visibility

The Writing Life

  1. Who is a trans writer you’ve read / admire?

  2. See this amazing preview of Jeanne Thornton (from Escape the Plot Forest)’s new novel:

“ With this letter, a sorcery has come upon you. Meant for B——, Gala’s invocation applies to the reader, too—Thornton’s novel is a spell wrought with words. Filled with mystery, magic, and at one point, a flying car, Summer Fun is a can’t-miss work of trans literature that marks Thornton as one of the most exciting and original novelists working today.”

Thanks for sharing this!

Nobody will know about her, but I really admire my friend Belle’s work. She has a blog for her short stories and other creative output.

You can read her work here:

Thanks for your interest! She hasn’t posted anything in a while but she’s written some neat short shorts. :slightly_smiling_face:

I’ll be sure to tell her she’s got some new readers!

I love Thornton’s voice.

A very relatable presenter, too!

Like someone in the summit audience said,
“I dont feel like I was at a presentation of course material. I feel like I was visiting in a coffee shop with an old friend”.

Ditto!
