Also, some very cool end-of-year recognition for "Moonrise Over New Jessup"

Hello, Loves:

Before winding down for the year, I want to express my immense gratitude for my online community. Y’all have supported and inspired my work in ways that buoy my soul. Wishing everyone a happy, healthy, and safe holiday season full of love, fellowship, and great food. And for those of you who, like me, whose hearts break open extra wide for lost loved ones during this time of year, you will be in my prayers.

It is the honor of my life to bring Moonrise Over New Jessup to readers. Thank you to Well-Read Black Girl Glory Edim, Kerri Miller of Minnesota Public Radio, Electric Literature, The Rumpus, and Southern Literary Review for recognizing Alice’s story as one of your favorites of the year; thank you to literary titans Sadeqa Johnson and S.A. Cosby for mentioning Moonrise Over New Jessup in your top reads; and thank you to reader Andre Barnett for your advocacy on behalf of New Jessup as one of your favorite books of the year to the New York Times! This upcoming tour, and these end-of-year mentions feel very special to me because they highlight how Alice continues to reach people. Thank y’all from the bottom of my heart for being part in her story.

Hope to see y’all at one of the tour stops, or somewhere alone the way in 2024. Happy Holidays, everyone. Be well.

xo,

Jamila
