Texas Tent presented by Texas Monthly
Three powerful new voices share their compelling first novels in this session presented by Writers’ League of Texas. 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.
We hope to see you there!
