Alina Grabowski's Women and Children First unravels a small town’s secrets through the perspectives of ten women grappling with loss after a tragic death. Elba Iris Pérez’s The Things We Didn't Know is a cross-cultural coming-of-age story about a young girl navigating the divide between her Puerto Rican heritage and life in a Massachusetts factory town. Rae Giana Rashad’s The Blueprint presents a dystopian tale of power, bondage, and bodily autonomy through the eyes of a young Black woman in an alternate United States. Join these debut authors as they discuss their work and the journey to publication.
