Stephen Graham Jones

Stephen Graham Jones’s last book is Zombie Bake-Off. His next is Growing Up Dead in Texas, which this story really is the dedication for, except it’s not in the book. He says this: “I blurbed Michael Kimball’s brilliant Dear Everybody back forever ago, and then by six or seven years later, in a thieving state of mind, forgot that this was his form, not mine. So, for more like ‘Dedication,’ hit Dear Everybody, everybody. But I was also trying to re-tell Peter Tysver’s amazing wonderful perfect “After the Stations of the Cross.” So read that too.”

A SmokeLong Summer 26!

A SmokeLong Summer 26 is closer than you think. This year we’re starting early and staying late. The summer just got longer.

As always, at the heart of A SmokeLong Summer is our peer-review workshop in small groups of around 15 writers, drafting to 3 writing tasks each week. Our peer-review workshop is all in writing, so you can participate from anywhere, anytime. This summer our writing tasks will be generative and thematically leaning towards community. Our theme this year: “The Global Flash Village”. Writing doesn’t have a be a game of Solitaire; it can be a team sport.

Our participants often say their writing has dramatically increased in community. A SmokeLong Summer 26 will take you around the world, introducing you to writers from every corner of our beautiful planet.
