Minisode: An Interview with Author Anissa Gray


Listen Later

This is a departure from our regular day and format! We wanted to get this interview into your ears as soon as possible, so welcome to our first minisode!

Today, I’m chatting with debut novelist, Anissa Gray, who just released The Care and Feeding of Ravenously Hungry Girls this week on February 19th.

Anissa has been a news journalist for 20 years now, and this is her first foray into fiction. Our conversation centers on that transition, the pressures put onto authors of color, and the ways that reading makes you a better person. You won’t want to miss it!

At the end, Anissa presses a book into your hands, because… it’s what we do. Hope you enjoy!
