Tupelo Hassman's first novel, girlchild, was published in 2012 by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. Her work has also appeared in The Boston Globe, Paper Street Press, The Portland Review Literary Journal, Tantalum, We Still Like, ZYZZYVA, and by 100WordStory.org, FiveChapters.com, and Invisible City Audio Tours. More is forthcoming from The Arroyo Review Literary Journal, Harper's Bazaar, and This Land. Tupelo collected footage of girlchild's book tour for a short documentary, Hardbound: A Novel's Life on the Road, and the jury is still out on whether or not this was a terrible idea.
