Perhaps someday I will write about the awkwardness of this stage of publishing, how a laughable dearth of anything close to “admin” skill and a lifetime of trash executive function makes planning a book launch your own special Mission Impossible except without Tom Cruise’s zeal for adventure or CGI or anything really except your own dumb thumbs. But for now I will just say: HOORAY! All the t’s have been crossed, the emails answered, the venues confirmed: I’m going on a book tour!
LOOK HOW OFFICIAL IT IS, BY GOD:
For just me and Ambition Monster, I will be in L.A., New York (with — holy fuck—Naomi Fry!, L.A. again (with my editor, KATE NAPOLITANO, who is still somehow putting up with me!), Seattle (with goddamn dream human
!!) and in Baltimore with the incredible and Leslie Price (of Gloria fame).For Ambition Monster + Everything Is Fine, they’ll be two live events/recordings (both of which require tickets): One at CaveatNYC and one in Philly at the beloved Fergie’s Pub. Stay tuned for our all-star lineup for these shows.
Thanks to everyone who said “yes” to joining me/us and also everyone who said, “wait don’t you mean PACIFIC TIME?”
I hope to see all of you out on the road! The book is almost here! I am very excited!
Also, here’s a little thing the publisher made to promote the book but also to remind me that I made something people like? You can pre-order Ambition Monster now xoxoxo
No one ever comes to Wisconsin, but I’m surprised/bummed no Chicago!
See you in nyc yay
