Robin Sloan,
a fiction writer

I’m the author of Moonbound, Sourdough, and Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore, published by MCD×FSG in the United States, Tokyo Sogensha in Japan, and many others around the world. I am also … 

• co-owner of Fat Gold and co-author of this guide to extra virgin olive oil
• one half of The Cotton Modules, a band
• creator of this app, this e-book template, etc.

My main newsletter goes out every 29 ½ days. It ranges widely, across books and media and modern life, and I always try to make it feel like a note from a friend.

I also send an occa­sional lab newsletter about creative computing. It is devoted to the topics that are simply too nerdy for my main newsletter.

I’ve published a lot of material across a few different internet eras. Here’s a directory of what’s available on this website and elsewhere.

This website was most recently updated on November 29, 2024.

If you’re here because you are curious about my writing and/or thinking, I encourage you to start with my novels. They’re available wherever books can be purchased or borrowed. The audiobook editions are great, too.

Thanks for stopping by!
