From 1977 to 1979,
June Jordan and Toni Morrison were both a part of "The Sisterhood",
a group of Black women writers who met in a New York City apartment to eat and drink together while discussing liberation.
Whether addressing genocide, imperialism or the American literary establishment,
the writers in the group,
which included Alice Walker and Ntozake Shange,
saw their work as a means to make interventions against dominant narratives of colon…

How do you make sure a reader has room to process and absorb ideas?
I think it's perfectly OK to include things in stories that 90% of readers won't pick up on -- because the delight of discovery for the 10% of readers who do is worth it, I think.
In some of my writing I use a lot of subtle intertextual references -- which readers who kn…

#WritersCoffeeClub Oct 22: What inspiration have you taken from historical figures or events?
Most of my stories are set in a mythical past like mythical ancient Greece or mythical Viking Age Europe where the gods are real.
I rarely write historical figures but sometimes I use (allegedly) real life persons or events for inspiration.

Migrating a large accretion of complex blog post content between platforms is a draining & thoroughly demoralising experience.

15. Just one?
Stand-up comedy as a successor of court jesters.
Not the most important, merely the first that comes to mind.
