Ursula K Le Guin: Conversations on Writing returns this fall in a gorgeous refreshed edition. You can pre-order it here: zandoprojects.com/books/ursula... @ursulakleguin.com @zandoprojects.bsky.social @tinhouse.bsky.social

Today’s book post is perfectly timed, given the Le Guin prize announces its winner later today (and is on her birthday).

If you're a Le Guin fan and you haven't listened to David Naimon's interviews with her then you're missing out! Putting this book on my to-read list.

this is such a wonderful conversation @davidnaimon.bsky.social @lidiamiles.bsky.social

incredibly humbling to have been first through the breach on this. no trans woman had ever had a horror novel at a big five publisher before MANHUNT, which is not to slap myself on the back but to comment on how lonely and scary it was. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

David Naimon’s TBR includes writing by Sabrina Orah Mark, Evelyn Araluen, and Mykaela Saunders.

I've been a longtime reader of Diana Arterian's LitHub column, The Annotated Nightstand, so it was a thrill to be invited to participate. I hope you enjoy it! lithub.com/the-annotate... @literaryhub.bsky.social @ursulakleguin.com @tinhouse.bsky.social

Pete of @chillsatwillpod.bsky.social generously interviewed 3 podcast hosts for his show—Traci (@bitracial.bsky.social) of The Stacks, Brad (@bradlisti.bsky.social) of OtherPpl Pod, and myself. He then created this omnibus edition of our 3 consecutive hours: Audio: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

"Given the dialogic nature of our book it seems only right to have this playlist move back and forth..." David Naimon shared a playlist for his book Ursula K. Le Guin: Conversations on Writing at Largehearted Boy largeheartedboy.com/2026/10/07/d...

In her book, Into Being, @lilydunn.bsky.social explores the ways in which writing one’s life has the potential to transform it; how writing, if done well, can produce “symbolic repair.” Listen to her interview on Between the Covers here: milkweed.org/between-the-... #booksky #memoir

This classic creative and philosophical exploration of three genres in interviews between the great Ursula Le Guin and the fabulous David Naimon @davidnaimon.bsky.social has a beautiful new release as of today.

Love this so much! Big Thief and Dolly P 🤌🏻

Had the lucky chance to make a playlist for @largeheartedboy.bsky.social for the release of Ursula K. Le Guin: Conversations on Writing. Like the book itself, I tried to weave Ursula's musical loves (which will surprise you!) with my own largeheartedboy.com/2026/10/07/d... @ursulakleguin.com
