Just a heads up that someone is impersonating me and sending emails to writers with my name and image on them. These are not from me. Sorry for the confusion. Please ignore any emails that are not from therightsfactory.com domain. #publishingscam #authoralert

Exciting to see @townscooks' Mushroom Gastronomy singled out in The New York Times for its innovative approach to mushrooms, as "restaurants around the country make the humble mushroom an essential main dish."

Couldn't be more thrilled to announce @drzedzha.bsky.social's new book deal! CONSENTED will be published by @natlanticbooks.bsky.social in 2026. This book will change how we think about and talk about medicine. Congrats, Zed!
Book deal reading: Physician and medical culture critic Dr. Zed Zha, MD's CONSENTED: MEDICAL RAPE CULTURE AND WHAT WE CAN DO ABOUT IT, a doctor's diagnosis of what is wrong with medicine, weaving together medical history, contemporary medical practices, and intimate patient stories, and drawing on the author's own transformative journey as a patient advocate, to call for a feminist revolution in medicine and to propose a bold, unifying vision that bridges the divide between doctors and patients, ultimately offering a hopeful reimagining of healthcare, to Shayna Keyles at North Atlantic Books, for publication in spring 2026, by Kathryn Willms at The Rights Factory (world English).
