Once a semester, Our Word invites an author of color to spend a week as a cultural Author-in-Residence. In April we’ll be very honored to bring author and OW alum Tania James to the Writing Division. During her week-long residency, Tania will meet with OW members one-on-one to discuss their manuscripts. She will also have a dinner with a select number of WD students to discuss her first book, ATLAS OF UNKNOWNS.


Past Authors-in-Residence include:
•• Ed Park
•• Aracelis Girmay
•• Uzodinma Iweala
•• Emily Raboteau
•• Victor LaValle
•• Hilton Als
•• Ernesto Quinonez
•• Laura Restrepo
•• Malcom Gladwell
