Writer, Writer, Pants On Fire

Today’s guest is Kiley Reid, a recent graduate of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop where she was the recipient of the Truman Capote Fellowship. She lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Such A Fun Age is her first novel. Kiley joined me today to talk about Such A Fun Age, and how writing two dimensional characters – people who are both good and bad – is how to make them true to life. Also covered, work life without a living wage, representing race on the page through language choice, and the truth that resides in fiction.    Support the Podcast Read the Transcript   Links for Kiley: Site: https://kileyreid.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kileyreid/    Ad Links:  Leaner Creamer: https://leanercreamer.com/discount/FIRE15
