Happy Publication Day, STILL TRUE and Reagan Jackson! Check out my interview with Reagan about the making of STILL TRUE--link in bio🔗. I love this book and greatly admire Reagan's ability to dismantle the insanity of the world using the language of reason and her insistence that joy and liberation are reasonable goals. The Seattle launch for STILL TRUE is TONIGHT at Elliott Bay Book Company at 7pm. Let's goooooo! @rejjarts @reaganejjackson @hintonpublishing @elliottbaybookco #authorssupportingauthors #authors #newbooks #bookstagrammer #journalism #nonfiction #nonfictionbooks

I just posted my interview with Rozie Kennedy about her gorgeous book OUR BRAVE FOREMOTHERS. 🔗Link in bio. Our Brave Foremothers raises the question: “When we think about women’s history, who do we consider and who do we omit?” And in response, it offers 100 stunning portraits.

My blurb for Reagan's Jackson's new book STILL TRUE. 🔗❤️Link in bio for preordering! "Reagan Jackson is the most important writer you might not have read yet. If a cat has nine lives, Jackson’s living ten. She’s in a Veracruz hotel room watching the Ferguson protests unfold on CNN. She’s in Seattle’s CHOP district in the summer of 2020 leading a Black healing event. If she’s not starting up a study abroad program for students of color or summing up with stunning clarity the epic drain of a “well intended white person” (see Page 81!), she’s learning to box, dance burlesque, and surf. And whatever country Jackson travels to or whatever theatre, comedy show, or lecture she attends, she listens, introducing us to voices we don’t often hear who speak of oppression, liberation, and hope. Reagan Jackson’s stories in Still True: The Evolution of an Unexpected Journalist drop us right onto the fault lines where plates are converging, where our culture—our very world—is being forged into something new. And with brilliant insight, candor, and vulnerability, Jackson shares the moments with us. We are there—right there—with her, as she shows us with precision and grace who we are and who we have yet to become." -Theo Pauline Nestor, author of Writing Is My Drink #book #booknerd #booklove #authorsofig #newbooks #nonfiction #seattle

Hi everyone! I wanted to let you know I'm teaching a live Modern Love essay class in February.

The class will walk through all the steps from idea generation to writing, structuring, revising, editing, and submitting----all within February's 29 days. 🔗Link in bio with more info, but Write a Modern Love in February includes:

Hi Theo,
I am gaining so much from your book Writing is My Drink. I am a published author but your book is helping me find authenticity that I haven’t had until now. Just wanted you to know that lots of people would want to read your book about motherhood- light sleeper, don’t give up on it. If I were you I would put parts of it out on your blog and see what happens . I have a book I haven’t published even though 6 others were published and I still believe in it.

Thank you!
I have a 1970s T-shirt with one of her drawings on it, promoting a newspaper event. Trying to find someone who would cherish it as a collectible! Bonnie K

Hi Ms. Nestor — I have been writing my blog for about two years and have been slowing venturing into submitting my work to different other venues (scary!!). I found Writing is My Drink at the library and read it in one sitting. It truly touched on all of my angst, hopes and fears about writing. I am looking forward to following your blog to keep myself inspired! Thanks!
