You can read the official book jacket description in the photo above, but here’s my personal description. Bury me Already (It’s Nice Down Here) is, on the surface, a comedic graphic novel about having a baby. But beyond that, it’s about my decision to become a mother after years of ambivalence, and all the body-horror, chaos, fear, and joy that decision led to. It’s also about miscarriage, abortion, a life-altering family trauma, the pandemic, and California wildfires. You know, just some easy-breezy stuff. But funny! I promise! If you enjoyed Impossible People and wanted to know what happened after I left NYC, this book is the unexpected and occasionally dramatic answer. But behind all the drama, it’s really a story about love. Because although I might present as dry and sardonic, behind my resting rage face is a sincere and cheesy…MOM?? I’m a MOM??!!! What the fuck. My baby is a kid now and I still can’t believe it.

If you’d like to hear what some more trustworthy sources have to say, you can see Publisher’s Weekly’s starred review, a preview on the New Yorker, an interview on Salon, or hear me talk about it on WNYC. Preview pages and ordering links are here! (More reviews and interviews can be found here.)

I’ll be on tour in 2026, and I will also be attending a number of conventions throughout 2026-2027, so check juliawertz.com/events for details and last minute additions!

Also, if you run a bookstore, convention, podcast, etc and would like me to do a signing, a show, talk or whatever, please email me! Contact info in bio.
