Book Tour

From March-November of 2024, I spent eight months on the road hugging friends all over the country and it was amazing—and I've been happily hibernating in Juneau, Alaska all winter. The profound shock of winning a Pulitzer (ha. Someday I will be able to write that without just... hahahaha, what?!) has caused a lot of folks to ask me if I'm doing another tour, and the answer is: not really? But here's what I do have coming up. If you're interested in booking me for something, please contact my appropriate agent over on my contact page.
