@loftliterary’s year-long novel-writing program helped me draft my first novel. Without their generous support, and @petergeye’s early encouragement, I doubt I’d have “The Native Nonpeople of Silt Island” on submission in the UK, US, and India right now.

A writer's debut release continues to be a "process" long after the book deal is signed. Thus, I interviewed author Daniel Tam-Claiborne about this & MORE for my latest @loftliterary blog post. #writerslife #BookTwitter
