How is this for bad self promotion: I’m reading last night at Blackbird Wine Shop in Portland, OR.
On the other hand, you can check out the story that I read (“A Proper Love Story“) at intentionalducati.org. Thanks to Stevan Allred and Joanna Rose who put on this fabulous event.
My story “Love” is now available in issue #10 of the Los Angeles Review. It looks like a great issue. Thanks to Stefanie Freele and all the other great folks who work on this magazine.

Meg Pokrass interviewed me over at the Fictionaut blog. (I’ve always wanted a venue where I can talk about how bad I am at plotting a story!)
Check it out: Fictionaut Five: Yuvi Zalkow.
A novel by Yuvi Zalkow
To be published by MP Publishing in the Fall of 2012.
Check out the unauthorized trailer (which includes me pantsless):
Michael Schechter was kind enough to interview me about productivity and creativity. Fun interview on two subjects that I care a lot about. Not only did he interview me, but he also felt that my responses were not too crappy to post online. Thanks, Michael!

So the exact same week I released my mock book trailer touting my book’s rejections, I received an offer for my book from a really cool small publisher. And I just accepted the offer today. And I am now represented by a fabulous agent too. The book is slated to be published Fall of 2012. Here is more information about the book: NOT IN MY LIFETIME
Don’t worry!… I still consider myself a failed writer and the “I’m a Failed Writer” presentations will continue unabated. In fact, I now feel like more of a fraud than ever before!
Thanks to Therese Walsh, I’m now a monthly contributer at Writer Unboxed. My first post is about rejection (of course!) and the way I’m attempting to balance the writing life and the marketing of the writing life. Check it out!
Laura Stanfill interviewed me for her writing blog. She’s made it so that I totally don’t sound like a fraud… Thanks, Laura!
My story “God and Buses” is now out in Glimmer Train. Issue #78, Spring 2011. It took 10 years and 23 rejections (!!!) but I finally made it onto their pages… Really nice issue, with Gina Ochsner and others… (For more details about my submission obsession, see my presentation From Poop to Glimmer.)
My post about downgrading my computer was published on practically efficient. It’s a really nice blog about “technology, workflows, and life.” Thanks, Eddie!
