#UrsulaKLeGuin’s home will become a writers residencyBy HILLEL ITALIE
Updated 8:00 AM EDT, June 10, 2024"Downes-Le Guin, who also serves as his mother’s literary executor, now hopes to give contemporary authors access to her old writing space. #LiteraryArts, a community nonprofit based in #PortlandOregon, announced Monday that Le Guin’s family had donated their three-story house for what will become the Ursula K. Le Guin Writers Residency.
"Le Guin, who died in 2018 at age 88, was a Berkeley, California, native who in her early 30s moved to Portland with her husband, Charles. Le Guin wrote such classics as 'The Left Hand of Darkness' and 'The Dispossessed' in her home, mostly in a corner space that evolved from a nursery for her three children to a writing studio.
"'Our conversations with Ursula and her family began in 2017,' the executive director of Literary Arts, Andrew Proctor, said in a statement. 'She had a clear vision for her home to become a creative space for writers and a beacon for the broader literary community.'"

Authors: want to know how to give your book the best chance of being chosen by Australian libraries? One of my favourite places is my local library. Not just because of all the wonderful librarians and the books I get to borrow, but I also get the buzz of seeing my own books on the recently returned shelf, or hear that my farm memoir is being enjoyed or dissected by another bookclub. This week too, Australian authors received our Lending Rights notification (the annual payment AU authors receive if there are at least 50 copies of your book available in AU libraries). There are many reasons why it's important for authors (trad and indie!) to work on building library demand for our books, and for all the writers who have asked me how to go about it, I've created a handy online course with all the info, tips, links, registration pages, list of distributors, marketing ideas and downloads you need to give you and your book the best chance at Australian library success. You can access the course at www.boldauthors.com - hope it helps you achieve your goals!

#bookishadvent belated day 23, #smallpress edition is [...] by Ava Hoffman –– Hoffman's visually and topically experimental poetry book toys with expectations of legibility levied on trans narratives. This is #transMadness, recoded.

#bookishadvent day 22, #smallpress edition is Heavenly Breakfast by the incomparable Samuel r Delany. This book-length essay frankly, humorously discusses queer communal living in 1967-68, and approaches its subject matter with a radically anticarceral, #antipsychiatry, and youth-liberation perspective.

#bookishadvent day 21, #smallpress edition is a small #zine with a huge impact - “every thug is a lady” by julia eff. I picked it up on a whim while in high school, and it transformed my relationship with gender(lessness) early in my journey as a trans person. It still means the world to me.

#bookishadvent day 18, #smallpress edition is “Seventeen Names for Skin” by Roland Blackburn! This short horror novel darkly satirizes the stereotypical illness narrative with a strong dose of body horror to match!

#bookishadvent #smallpress edition, day 11 is Casey Plett’s “A Dream of a Woman”! Plett is one of my all-time favorite authors, and writes stunning trans fiction. This book, from Arsenal Pulp Press, weaves interlocking but distinct stories across a novel-length manuscript — truly a brilliant study in (trans-)form as well as content.

#bookishadvent #smallpress edition day 7 is "The Book of Dog" by the amazing @claire ! I adored this modern-day political fable, and Oshetsky's take on animality in storytelling is a fascinating journey unto itself!

#BookishAdvent day 2, #smallpress edition! “Where we go when all we were is gone” by Sequoia Nagamatau , from #BlackLawrencePress . This is a spectacular hybrid collection that embraces diversity of form to explore national and familial grief, monstrosity/fabulism, and the shifting boundaries between “poetry” and “prose”.
