What a fun interview this week with creativity podcast Kites and Strings Podcast. (And just as you'd expect from art-therapist hosts, they wanted to delve into...my childhood.😜) Eavesdrop here: bit.ly/JuneKites

Talking with mike brennan on his Creative Chats podcast fired me up to go make stuff. He’s on a mission to support people in cultivating a daily creative habit (& it’s working) 🖌🖍🖋

'Rarely is a book as delightful as June Gervais’s debut novel.' 😍

Check out the lovely review of June Gervais's JOBS FOR GIRLS WITH ARTISTIC FLAIR in The Common 👇 bit.ly/3y2UkMy

“This book is not only about becoming the artist one is meant to be, but also about learning what love is…” This review in The Common by Susan Scarf Merrell susanmerrell.bsky.social so deeply understands what I was trying to achieve in JOBS FOR GIRLS. Thank you 🙏🏼

Honored to be invited to contribute to this list! Cheers to Them and Daniel Spielberger for responding to censorship with even more truth & beauty.

Thank you LunchBreak_Podcast! 🥰

One more reason I love libraries & librarians: their genuine enthusiasm for being matchmakers between books & readers. 💕 Thank you so much, Carnegie-Stout PL.

I grew up reading Long Island’s Newsday. What an honor to be interviewed by the wonderful kellymcmasters about my novel JOBS FOR GIRLS WITH ARTISTIC FLAIR! (It’s set in an ’80s L.I. tattoo shop.)

.kellymcmasters, assistant professor of English and director of the Publishing Studies program, recently interviewed Long Island-based author June Gervais about her debut novel, “Jobs for Girls With Artistic Flair,” for Newsday. news.hofstra.edu/2022/08/15/mcm…

I think John Ashbery's words can be said of stories:
'I don't look on poetry as closed works. I feel they're going on all the time in my head and I occasionally snip off a length.' Amy Hempel said stories don't have beginnings & ends but entry points and exit points. I agree.

It’s such a thrill to be the staff pick of a bookseller I’ve never met, 1300 miles away. Thank you! I’ll stop by to say hi if I’m ever in eastern Kansas!✌🏼

“The tale will resonate with all kinds of readers… [T]he author has crafted a sense of place so precise, you’ll all but hear the tinkling of the bell over the tattoo shop’s door as the novel welcomes you in.” ✨ Thank you, Washington Independent Review of Books and Patricia S. Gormley (she/her) !
