Robin Sloan, a writer & media inventor*

I’m the author of two novels so far: Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore and Sourdough, published by FSG and MCD.

I send out an infrequent email newsletter, and I always try to make it feel like a note from a friend.

Here’s what’s new:

• My proposal for a book to be adapted into a movie starring Dwayne Johnson
• Sourdough, a novel that actually exists
• Penumbra’s New Fiction, a publishing project
• “Voyages in sentence space,” a machine learning project
• I make olive oil!

Here are the standbys:

• Learn more about me (or get my contact info)
• See what I'm up to on I n s t a g r a m
• Consume a fictional snack
• Enjoy a longer tale
• Go digging in the crates
