She’s back… YAY!!
Getting published in Mexico is no easy feat, especially for unknown writers: big publishers tend to focus on profit-reaping established authors.
I don’t know what’s different about Mexico from anywhere else on the planet in that respect (although I can recommend a small English-language Mexican publisher who has taken on several unknowns), but am happy to see Alexis Okeowo is back to reporting on Mexico. Okeowo always impressed me with her coverage of overlooked news from wherever she happens to find herself — writing on lesbians in Kampala. couch surfing in New York, or — in Newsweek — on the interest in the United States in Mexican women writers.
Thanks! Appreciate the kind words, and still enjoying your blog …
