jul 1, 2015 - Mac Dowel

Description:

My 2015 fellowship at MacDowell gave me the confidence and courage to leap, at nearly forty, into the writing life. Thanks to all the gifted artists I met there, especially Emily Hass and Corinne Manning, for taking a wide-eyed rookie under your wings. I am also grateful to the Tin House Summer Workshop for providing invaluable support toward the completion of this novel; and to my professional mentors, including my friend Bill Shapiro and my former colleagues at Essence, for what they taught me about stepping up and into purpose
