Some EXTENDED STAY News & Events

Here are three really cool recent Extended Stay bits:

• I was in conversation with Scott Dickensheets at The Desert Companion about the novel & its relationship to Las Vegas (linked here, but embedded below)

• Extended Stay is part of The Chicago Review of Books’s Most Anticipated Chicago Books of 2023

• It’s also included in Emily Hughes’s extensive, definitive list of 2023’s New Horror Books (and the cover sneaks into the page header, so I’ve included it below).

I’ll be doing some events! They’re all soon to be posted over here, but here’s a quick rundown:

• On January 10, I’ll be in conversation at the Book Cellar with Eden Robins about her debut novel When Franny Stands Up.

• On January 24, it’s Extended Stay’s book launch! At Women & Children First! I’ll be in conversation with Lindsay Hunter.

• From March 4-5, I’ll be in Arizona for the Tucson Festival of Books! I’ll be doing a few things, but the schedule isn’t up yet.

• From March 8-11, I’ll be in Seattle for AWP! On Friday, March 10, I’ll be in this panel, The 21st-Century Horror Novel, with Stephanie Feldman, Erika T. Wurth, and Addie Tsai.

Events! Live! (Some also on Zoom!) 2022!

I did a few things between 2020 & 2022 but what with literally everything, I didn’t update the Events page. But I did just now! And there are events, including one this Tuesday, March 8! I’d love to see you at any of these things. All the details are here: http://www.fulmerford.com/events !

AWP 2020 San Antonio Events!

Excited for AWP 2020 in San Antonio. I’m doing a bunch of cool events with a bunch of cool people & drew up a single card w/ all the things I'm doing. It is nearly illegible but I doodled FOUR VAMPIRES on the margin.

The legible version is over here. And here’s a whole index card just for the “Worry About It Later” event:

San Antonio AWP 2020 Events

If you’re in San Antonio for AWP this year, I’d love to see you! I posted what I’m doing it below, but I also added the events to the Events page.

• F243. From Unpublished Writer to Book Deal: How to Finish Writing and Get a Book Deal, with Julia Fierro and Marie Myung-Ok Lee

  • Room 301, Henry B. González Convention Center, Ballroom Level
    Friday, March 6, 2020
    1:45 pm to 3:00 pm  

  • The road to a book deal seems so long. How do you find the mental space to be creative? How do you get that manuscript finished and once you do, then what? What should you do before approaching an agent? How do you know whom to approach and get one interested in you? Once you have an agent, what does the submission process look like? When does a book go to auction? How does a book advance work? This diverse group of successful writers with different publishing experiences offers their top tips.

• R. 141. Worry about It Later: Strategies to Finish What You Start, with Christine Sneed, Sarah Kokernot, Kendra Fortmeyer, and Amy Gentry

  • Room 303, Henry B. González Convention Center, Ballroom Level
    Thursday, March 5, 2020
    9:00 am to 10:15 am

  • Starting is often the easy part—it’s what comes after that’s so difficult for many writers. In this panel, we’ll discuss strategies for completing the first draft, along with our experiences of sending out and eventually publishing work that in some cases went through many drafts. We’ll also discuss how to deal with self-doubt and how to write through potential problems. Lastly, we’ll share advice about when to set a project aside.

I'm so sorry for all the self-promotion! The robot says if I don't self-promote the h*ck out of this book he will do something unspeakable with this pencil. Blame the robot don't blame me. The robot demands that you buy 500 copies of my book thank you.
