Hiatus

By Jennifer Niesslein

Some news, sweets: I’m taking a hiatus. I truly love the Full Grown People community (I swear, I feel as if I know some of you just from your comments!), but we’ve been at it for almost five years now, and I need a break. I’m going to focus on my own writing, among other things—I’m hoping to write another book, but I’ve threatened this before, so we’ll see.

For writers who have sent work through Submittable and haven’t heard back yet, I’m working on refunding your fee.

If you need a reading fix, check out the writers’ bios. A lot of them have books out or coming out soon. And if you don’t have Full Grown People’s Greatest Hits: Volume 1 or Soulmate 101 and Other Essays on Love and Sex, they’re on sale now for ten bucks apiece.

Thank you all for making the last five years so incredibly fulfilling. I’ll see you when I get back!

  1. Good luck! Can’t wait to read what comes out the other side! (Seriously, five years already?)

  2. Best wishes to you for your hiatus, Jennifer. But I am so sad for the rest of us. The world is falling apart around us all. We need FGP to keep us grounded. It has been so lovely reading everyone’s work and being reminded that we’re all in this together.

  3. Best to you, Jennifer. Looking forward to reading your work. What a gift to know when to take a break, get time for yourself, move one your project. Hooray for you.

  4. I found you accidentally, but have been loving the works you’ve curated for a couple of years. I will miss such powerful and interesting writing on such meaningful topics. Best to you in your upcoming endeavors. Thank you.

  5. How brave of you to commit to your writing. Sometimes it seems like we should be able to do it all but you know what you need. Thank you for FGP! I wish I’d been reading you sooner! Good luck with your project! Janet

  6. Thank you for everything Jennifer and all the luck in the world on your next endeavor!! You will be missed.
