“With a few non-fiction titles under my belt and nearly a decade of<br />

equipping creatives through the annual STORY conference, I decided<br />

to make the leap into writing fiction. I had a great story for a novel but<br />

needed a way forward. <strong>Wedgwood</strong> accepted me into the inaugural<br />

Good Lit writers program with a funded writer’s retreat in Stanford,<br />

Kentucky and grant. The time away provided not only an enriching<br />

week with notable authors, industry experts, and fellow writers, but<br />

also ongoing connections, feedback, and support as I finished the<br />

manuscript. I used the grant to film a trailer for the book. A veteran<br />

fiction editor in New York is shaping the content, and we expect<br />

The Resident to be published in <strong>2016</strong>.”<br />
