The Women Cover Reveal

I'm so excite to share with you my next book! I've written on here before that I love experimenting and playing with different forms. Last year I decided I wanted to write a piece of literary fiction that incorporated an interactive fiction form which resulted in Raising Women, and it wasn't hard for me to fall in love with the girls in the book. When I finished, I decided that they needed more time - so I am releasing a short story collection called The Women full of more raw, relatable, and fearlessly honest stories that are told from the perspective of eleven of the girls in Raising Women. I'm extremely excited to reveal the cover and announce that The Women will be released on July 22nd!   Learn more about it here.

Thirty-Nine transgressive short stories
that are raw, relatable, and fearlessly honest.
 
Welcome to this nostalgic museum of girlhood, where eleven self-loathing and self-destructive girls are on display. Watch as feelings of confusion, rebellion, and a desire to belong turn them into defiant women, unruly mothers, and unsavory wives. Roman leaves prison with a dangerous man; Kia attends a locker room sermon on period sex; Carly escorts her boyfriend’s ex to the abortion clinic, and you develop nudes at the local drugstore. Through sharp and visceral prose, Shannon Waite gives life to the women you know, have been, or will be in ways that break you but won’t let you look away.
 
Both a prequel and sequel to Waite’s interactive novel Raising Women, this expansion pack allows the novel’s girls to bravely tell their own gut-wrenching stories in unapologetically bold voices—and though it expands on the novel’s characters, this gritty, unsettling, and vulnerable short story collection can be read before, after, or isolated from the novel.
