Author of Mr. Splitfoot does a lot of work on that cover. Samantha Hunt’s branding is better than yours. I know this is true because her work was recommended to me by Allison Barrett. (And she’s never told me to read any of your work. 🙀) After reading this excellent collection of female-centered short stories, …

The crazy reason I sometimes miss detention is the same reason I miss a lot of probably unpleasant things: fear of missing out.

We’re all good with detention’s bad rap. It’s school after school, worse than school itself. Study hall for those who didn’t study in the first place, which is either the aptest or the least apt punishment, depending on your sense of irony.

Photo by: Anna Shvets I have a little confession: the first book I fell head over heels for was a self-help book. Yep, you heard that right. And honestly, I doubt it’ll ever grace the reading list of any book club out there. (Though, with Detention, you never know!) The book is Attached by Amir …

At my high school, we didn’t have detention, we had trash pick-up. You walked around at lunch with a plastic bucket and a claw grabber. The goal was to have us sheepishly collect litter in the bushes, banished from our peers, but the custom was to go up to groups of kids and hold out …
