I’m proud to announce that the Deaf Baby Instruction Manual will be shipping to you all this very week! If you haven’t already ordered a copy, or if you want to buy one for a friend, my publisher Bloomsbury is now giving you 20% off with offer code “GLR BD8” at checkout.

To celebrate the launch, I got together with deaf author Rachel Kolb, whose Articulate was one of the hottest memoirs of 2025. Her interview with me is over on her Substack, where we discuss the origins of the DBIM, what that has to do with bigfoot and MAD Magazine, and what’s in store for the Manual’s future.

Next newsletter is going to have more meat, plus a plea to get reviews of the book up on Amazon and Goodreads. But right now, I’m just so happy.

Thank you to everyone who’s supported me through this journey, and thanks for reading!

Best,

Will
