Spencer Dew discusses The Kind of Girl in decomP.

Read about three of the best books I read this year, alongside several other writer’s picks for 2013.  It’s a great time to start a reading list for 2014!  I couldn’t help adding more books to my quickly growing list after seeing everyone’s selections.

What are the best books you read in 2013?

Chelsea Campbell discusses The Kind of Girl in Front Porch Journal.

Thanks to everyone at The Letters Festival for hosting us, and congrats on a wildly successful inaugural year!  Wonderful readings, panels, and talks.  I am looking forward to devouring books by Letters Festival writers over Thanksgiving break.

On Saturday, I will lead a fiction workshop at The Goat Farm Arts Center at 2 p.m.
