Krystal A. Sital and Peter Mountford join me for Episode Four of Season Five.
Krystal A. Sital is the author of the memoir Secrets We Kept: Three Women of Trinidad, a finalist for the PEN America Emerging Writers Award. Her essays have been anthologized in A Map Is Only One Story: Twenty Writers on Immigration, Family, and the Meaning of Home as well as Fury: Women’s Lived Experiences in the Trump Era. Her work has also been featured in The New York Times, ELLE, The Huffington Post, Today’s Parent, Salon, Catapult, LitHub, and elsewhere. Krystal currently teaches nonfiction writing.
Peter Mountford is the author of two novels: A Young Man’s Guide to Late Capitalism, which won the 2012 Washington State Book Award in Fiction, and The Dismal Science, which was named a New York Times Editors’ Choice. His work has appeared in The Paris Review, The Southern Review, The Atlantic, The Sun, Granta, The Missouri Review, and Writer’s Digest. Peter is also a writing coach and developmental editor.
In this episode, we discuss writing a collaborative, code-switching memoir; learning, through failure, ways to capture and hold the reader’s attention; and using voice, language, point of view, and setting to craft vivid, engaging, authentic prose on the page.
PWN's Debut Review is hosted by Project Write Now, a nonprofit writing studio. Learn more at projectwritenow.org.
