My book (!) co-edited with Roxanne Pilat and Lauren DeJulio Bell, and with lots of great writers, out May 2022 from Northwestern University Press. Will have a cover by Emil Ferris, who also has an excerpt from her My Favorite Thing Is Monsters in it! A focus on diverse voices from specific neighborhoods. All the writers write about growing up in the Chicago area. I'll let you know when I know more.

So the gorgeous cover is now here. See my blog on my page for the LitHub Cover Reveal story featuring the internationally lauded artist Emil Ferris, author of My Favorite Thing is Monsters. Will be out in May 2022! An edited volume of stories--some fictional, most memoir--of growing up in particular Chicago neighborhoods. A model (we thought) for young people to write their own growing up stories. Pretty exciting!
