We were so lucky to have @veryhotmomm.bsky.social and Neige in conversation this spring--read them talking about writing and power in their own words on @thecreativeindependent.com: thecreativeindependent.com/people/write...

"Yet in taking their own experiences of trauma seriously, by directing their writing and reading towards understanding and articulating it, Hood and Sinno expand the horizons of what trauma literature can be. Their books mark the arrival of two major literary talents."
