These are the types of conversations that keep me writing even when it seems like sometimes the words escape me. The interviews are personal and draw on early life experiences, the frustrations and challenges writers experience along the way- and as a young black African writer, I am pleased that there's a platform for writers like me even though it's a continent away.
I do wish it featured many more writers too and also included more snippets of books or black writers that may have influenced their writing at some point.
Thanks Netgalley for the eARC. I believe any reader would enjoy reading this book because of the conversational tone and how short it is.

First, I loved the interview setup of this book. It was conversational and very inviting.

Second, I appreciated the content of the book. I believe it’s important to hear people’s stories — this book is a study in the events that shape writers.
