National Endowment for the Arts grant!

I am extremely thrilled to be a National Endowment for the Arts literature fellow in prose for 2020! Also known as an NEA grant, you can see the full list of fellows (i.e. scan for your friends and nemeses) here. I quite literally jumped on the bed when I got the (second) call from D.C., after I screened the first one and let it go to voicemail, because who picks up random calls from D.C.??? So if you see me out and about it’s a good time to hit me up for a free drink, because I’m feeling prettttyyyyy darn $$$ right about now. I’m also going to try and use those government funds to get to Antarctica somehow for writing-related research, so wish me luck on that front. Thank you NEA!!!
