Special thanks to @bookhugpress.bsky.social and @ecwpress.bsky.social who recommended me to the OAC to receive this grant! Both of these presses publish amazing work by incredibly talented writers, and I feel honoured to have received their recommendation.

This support will help me to complete the memoir-in-essays that I've been plugging away at for several years now, one that explores my journey from country to country in the early part of my life, and touches on everything from war, to wistfulness, to weddings, to city-wide water fights.

Love this essay, by Jennifer Thuy Vi Nguyen: longreads.com/2024/06/11/c...

So amazing, thanks for sharing this. Can't wait!
