Liese Sherwood-Fabre, author of Wilhelmina Quigley: Magic School Dropout
I hope readers enjoy Wilhelmina Quigley: Magic School Dropout as much as I loved writing about my misfit witch and her search for belonging. Most people have experienced moments of agonizing awkwardness—just like Wilhelmina. But like her, if they persevere, they will succeed—although not always in the way they imagined. Wilhelmina’s perseverance required sacrifice, but what she gained was greater than what she lost.

2023 Independent Press Award / 2022 NYC Big Book Award Winner
Mostly I write to connect with readers. That is why, in spite of the conventional wisdom not to do so, I read all my reviews, both good and bad. My writing has reached that reviewer, that reader, and I am grateful for the connection. Having my work officially recognized by the Independent Press & NYC Big Book Awards, takes that connection to a whole new level. Yes, the recognition feels good --- very good --- but it is more than that. It is knowing that, in the tidal wave of books coming out every day, mine has risen to the surface, buoyed there by discerning judges who found a connection to my writing, and who want to share that connection with others. The act of writing is like the sound of one hand clapping. It is its own reward. It has to be. Recognition for that writing is like putting two hands together, and that applause is music to any writer’s ears.
