Venezuelan writer Liz Prieto speaks with IWC teacher Ellen Keith about her collection of linked short stories, My Broken Conuco. Liz self-published her book first in English and then in Spanish before she was approached by a commercial publisher. My Broken Conuco is currently available in English from Barnes & Noble and in English and Spanish from Amazon.
Liz and Ellen discuss:
- confronting social and political issues in fiction,
- handling heavy material,
- self-publishing,
- approaches to marketing and promotion,
- and much more.
The class was held in the garden of Boekhandel van Rossum in Amsterdam on 12 June 2022.
