There is no pressure to change what I've written to match some preconceived mold. I try not to write the same kind of book twice, so I feel I have a lot of freedom to explore different forms.(less)

Cloistered

When I wrote CLOISTERED, I wanted to create something immersive and cinematic. Something that slipped between 3rd person limited viewpoints of people and animals like a camera in a movie. Where universal truths and intimate details hold equal space on the page.

Quotes by Liz Kellebrew  (?)

“Not only do writers write in the dark most of the time, we write about the dark: the shadows within and the night without. In so doing, we bring the light of our memories and imaginations to illuminate those hidden places. The result isn't always comforting, but our mission remains: to reveal things as they are.”
Liz Kellebrew, Pitkin Review Spring 2015
