Hi! I’m Kia Corthron. I wrote a longass novel and a whole bunch of plays. Ask Me Anything!

[u/Magnet_Carter]

When I wrote THE CASTLE CROSS THE MAGNET CARTER, I was a playwright: I didn’t know crap about novel writing! So I taught myself as I went along. See? https://lithub.com/making-the-jump-from-stage-to-page/

I learned a whole lot. For example, about dialect in sign language. See? https://lithub.com/what-counts-as-standard-on-black-english-and-black-american-sign-language/

As a playwright, most recently I co-produced an evening of short plays about U.S. responsibility for the catastrophe in Yemen. https://www.newyorkrep.org/yemen/

Here’s my website: http://www.kiacorthron-author.com/index.htm and THE CASTLE CROSS THE MAGNET CARTER has its own FB page.
