Hello to my Frequent Flyers

For a glimpse into my current state of being, I woke up today with full-on, strangled-mouse vibes laryngitis (I mean, I did several interviews last week, but: ???), made my way to the kitchen, and then got a “it’s time to check in for your flight” email from Delta for a ticket that I thought I bought for September 24 (LA to Austin), but actually booked for August 24 (tomorrow). Hi! Everything is fine, no notes, I’m doing great.

Author copies have arrived!!

This newsletter includes ¡new! exclusive presale ticket access to events in Seattle (a bookstore hang) and Austin, TX (a very fun restaurant pop-up), and important updates to my appearances in D.C. and Brooklyn. If you are not interested in all that, scroll down for things having to do with CORN.

I am also revealing my special guests at the pub day event in Brooklyn on 9/8, and the Heartburn screening in DC on 9/12.

Full Tour Info Here

To preorder a signed copy without committing to a tour event, visit any of these independent book sellers (this helps me so much!!!). Regular copies can be preordered wherever you buy books.

Books Are Magic / Now Serving / Greenlight Bookstore / Omnivore / Bold Fork / Binding Agents / Read It and Eat

NEW

For my publication-day event with Books are Magic in Brooklyn on Sept. 8, I’ll be joined by the luminous and whip-smart Charlotte Palermino, co-founder of Dieux beauty, whose products I’ve been using for yearssssss.

Charlotte demonstrates the dictionary definition of glass skin.

Charlotte is an incredible source of wisdom about marketing myths in the beauty industry, and I can’t imagine a better person to help me dismantle the negative connotations in the phrases “guilty pleasure” and “eating your feelings.” I’m thrilled that she’ll be on stage with me to talk about Food is a Feeling.

People who shared this post saw a 300% improvement in their skin.

If you haven’t gotten tickets for publication night yet (which come with a signed copy of the book!), do so pronto by clicking below.

brooklyn: 9/8 (pub day!)

NEW

A few days later, following the Alone Popcorn screening of Heartburn in Washington, D.C. on September 12, I’ll be chatting with Aparna Raj, aka District Delicious, who is both an expert on the local food scene and also the newly- nominated Democratic councilperson to represent Ward 1. These tickets have been moving at a steady pace, and I suggest locking in soon if you want to be there!

Aparna Raj, aka District Delicious

MORE NEW TIMES TWO

Onto the as-yet-unannounced events in Seattle on September 20, and the pop-up in Austin on Sept 25.

Paid subscribers to Food Processing (at any tier) have exclusive presale access to FIAF tour tickets for 48 hours before they’re available to the general public (even for newly-added events). These are intentionally intimate gatherings in smaller venues, and they will sell out.

Upgrade to paid

Seattle fam, I heard from you after your city was on the original tour poster, but wasn’t part of the official announcement. It was in, it was out, and now: IT IS WAY IN. ...
