Girl, Unemployed a Staff Pick at Yellow Bird

Feeling incredibly honored Girl, Unemployed was named a staff pick for Yellow Bird Editors' "Success in the Press" series!

I was scared to publish this novel because when we want something to be good we often censor the truth. But we cannot get to the good we seek without exposing the raw truth first.

Sara understood my voice, genre(s), and let that truth shine I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with her
