Having someone like my characters enough to draw them has been my biggest personal author goal since I started writing professionally, and I’d basically given up on it. I need a moment
My heart leapt into my throat when I saw this. This is the first real piece of reader art I’ve ever seen. I’m struggling to express how much this means to me. Thank you.
Black-and-white photo of Kemi Ashing-Giwa, a Black woman with a natural worn short on the sides and tall on the top. She wears a fine-gauge crew-neck sweater in a light tone and lip gloss. They sit on a chair or sofa with an upholstered back, in front of a light source (a curved window with panes, or perhaps a translucent tent?). She is turned with her face in three-quarters view as she looks attentively toward something or someone off-camera. Their eyes are focused, creased at the corners as part of their warm, broad smile.
Color photo of Meg Elison, a fat and fair-skinned woman with brown eyes and short, curly black hair. She wears a red-and-white colorblock dress, a silver key on a chain around her neck, and red lipstick. She stands before a neutral backdrop and smiles knowingly, looking directly into the camera.
Would you like someone to read you a good story? You’re in luck! This week, Story Hour’s guests are Kemi Ashing-Giwa and Meg Elison! Join us Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. PST! @kashinggiwa.bsky.social @megelison.bsky.social
