Author Mentorship (long term)
Author Mentorship is for novelists (first time or seasoned professionals) who want a dedicated person by their side for accountability, a flexible structure, in-depth feedback, and dealing with the emotional ups and downs that is the writing process.
The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say,
but what we are unable to say.

Blue Hour: A Novel
A Barack Obama Summer Reading selection, and one of Vulture’s Best Books of 2023
What is motherhood in the midst of uncertainty, buried trauma, and an unraveling America? What it’s always been—a love song
Our narrator is a gifted photographer, an uncertain wife, an infertile mother, a biracial woman in an unraveling America. As she grapples with a lifetime of ambivalence about motherhood, yet another act of police brutality makes headlines, and this time the victim is Noah, a boy in her photography class. Unmoored by the grief of a recent devastating miscarriage and Noah’s fight for his life, she worries she can no longer chase the hope of having a child, no longer wants to bring a Black body into the world. Yet her husband Asher—contributing white, Jewish genes alongside her Black-Japanese ones for any potential child—is just as desperate to keep trying. Throwing herself into a new documentary on motherhood, and making secret visits to Noah in the hospital, this when she learns she is, impossibly, pregnant. As the future shifts once again, she must decide yet again what she dares hope for the shape of her future to be. Fearless, timely, blazing with voice, Blue Hour is a fragmentary novel with unignorable storytelling power.
