I am the author of The Crack between the Worlds: a dancer's memoir of loss, faith and family. My first novel, A Free, Unsullied Land, is forthcoming from Fomite Press in November 2015. Talk to me about revision in fiction and non-fiction, advantages of indie publishing, the DIY book tour and other DIY marketing. We can also talk about MFA programs (I went to Vermont College of Fine Arts), and what to do if you can't get an agent. I've published fiction in The Sun, Nimrod, Carve, Rosebud and others, and my essays have appeared in
America, Writer's Chronicle, Image and elsewhere. A story excerpted from my forthcoming novel won 3rd place in the Hackney Literary Contests and is forthcoming in the Birmingham Arts Journal.
