Interview with Jen Wang (The Prince and the Dressmaker)

By |2020-03-28T13:40:08-05:00March 14th, 2018|Categories: Archive, Author Interview, New Releases|Tags: , |

Author Jen Wang is here in conversation with Maurene Goo (The Way You Make Me Feel) about cross-dressing, trans identity, and queer teenagers in her recently released graphic novel, The Prince and the Dressmaker.   1. What really resonated with me about The Prince and the Dressmaker were the themes of acceptance and empowerment—with Sebastian, obviously, but also with Frances, the dressmaker. You’re going to hear this book being called a “feminist fairy tale” a lot, which I certainly wouldn’t disagree with. Why did you feel like it was important for you to tell this story right now?

Pride Month Blogathon: Day 10 – Introduction to Pride Month Blogathon by Kheryn Callender I didn't like myself very much when I was younger. I was the only black student in my private school for a few years, and whenever I left my school, which was deep in the countryside where many white people from the states lived, I was surrounded by locals from St. Thomas who thought I acted too snobby, who thought I spoke with a stateside accent because I didn’t love my island, who thought I acted too “white.” It seemed wherever I went, whichever community [...]

Pride Month Blogathon: Day 9 – Introduction to Pride Month Blogathon by L.D. Lewis It’s 2017 and the world is on fire. Whatever day it is you’re reading this, you probably woke up lost and groaning. Maybe while staring at the ceiling or at nothing in particular in the mirror, you idly pondered what sort of distant, existential crisis would manifest itself in a very real threat to your being today and if/how you would react to it. Survive it. After all, yesterday [wasn’t so bad/was utter trash]. How much should you reasonably be expected to endure? Disclaimer: I [...]

Pride Month Blogathon: Day 8 – Introduction to Pride Month Blogathon by Anna-Marie McLemore I love fairy tales. I love them so much that even when I don’t mean them to, they find their way into my stories. But my third book, Wild Beauty (October 3), may be the story I’ve written so far that looks, from the outside, most like a fairy tale. It’s a book of secrets, pretty dresses, and magical gardens. It’s the story of a generation of cousins who are both haunted by their family’s legacy and enchanted by their own fierce hearts. It’s also [...]

The War of the Words Started in November

By |2020-03-28T13:40:11-05:00June 14th, 2017|Categories: Author Guest Blog, Guest Blogs, Writers on Writing|

by Danny Lore There are a lot of things in this world that our conservative nightmare of a government will try and take from you. That’s undeniable, even though we’re going to fight our asses off to make sure it doesn’t happen. They want to limit our access to healthcare, our ability to support ourselves, to educate ourselves— all while trying to convince us we don’t count as human. I’d be lying if I wasn’t upfront about that. Hell, that’s why you’re reading this in the first place, to figure out a way to slog through this GOP [...]

Pride Month Blogathon: Day 3 – Introduction to Pride Month Blogathon by Rebecca Podos You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world goes on. Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers. Meanwhile the wild [...]
