Wanted to wait until the news became official official, and now I can finally type out one very surreal compound sentence: so, I’ve sold my novel, and later this month, I’m joining Vanity Fair as a senior correspondent. It’s two pieces of news that I’ve been dying to share with the Deez Links fam, because you’ve all singularly encouraged my writing and weird little interests over these past five years in a way that’s quite literally changed my life. As the ancient lore goes, I started Deez Links in 2016 as an aimless intern looking to pass the time — but deep down, of course, if we’re being totally honest, I was desperately hoping the newsletter could one day get me a tiny bit closer to The Dream: to write for a magazine, to write and publish a novel. The fact that both are now happening at once feels so ludicrous that I cannot talk about it in person with a straight face, especially when the past year(s) have involved a general personal reckoning around my relationship to work and worth. But that’s a thread for another day…
