From Stephen Elliott
Are you a fan of the Rumpus living in New York? Do you work in, or have ties to, the food industry, or maybe just some extra cash you’d like to give to some starving artists?
We’re looking to feed cast and crew while we shoot the Happy Baby movie, and donations of food or money for food would help us keep their bellies full.
...moreWoohoo! Lit podcast Drunken Odyssey has a new episode up in which host John King talks to our very own Stephen Elliott and Isaac Fitzgerald.
Topics include Happy Baby, About Cherry, and bend-over boyfriends.
Plus it says right there on the site that Drunken Odyssey is “your favorite podcast about creative writing, literature, and drinking,” so what are you waiting for?
...moreA big thank you to Maud Newton for shouting out the Happy Baby movie in the New York Times Magazine.
Fun fact from her blurb: “[Stephen] Elliott accidentally sent the chapters out of order to his editor, Dave Eggers, who actually preferred them that way.”
We love you back!
