I started the year with good intentions. I intended to read every piece of short fiction that I could lay my hands on, every major novel, every exciting debut or anthology or short story collection and more. I would read
all the things. This is the story of how I did not read all the things. I did not even read most of the things.

Literary agency Foundry Literary + Media dissolved in September 2020, and some authors had trouble getting paid, with reports of checks bouncing as early as last November The Authors Guild got involved, and some authors were subsequently paid by wire transfer, but others were not.
