INTERVIEW: Adiba Nelson, Author of Ain’t That a Mother

Adiba’s voice is unabashed, unflinchingly honest, and disrupts any stereotypes you may have about motherhood.

A nonfiction book that reads like a novel reflects the unpleasant truth of overconsumption in the lives of Mumbai’s wastepickers.

Spain is the backdrop for a memoir frankly exploring the evolution of female desire from childhood to adulthood.

For some reason, I thought in creative nonfiction I would not be able to bring my own form and style to it.

The experimental memoir combines research, reflections on belonging, and a variety of essay forms in the author’s exploration of her past.

Each of the words in Shakespeare’s Sonnet 29 becomes a prompt for the entries in this collection of short prose pieces.

In literature, physical comedy may be slapstick or it may use subtle references to body functions….

The more I revise, the more the piece takes shape as a living memorial emblematic of power and mastery.

Inside you is a writer but also a battle.

CNF contests are worth submitting to, even if you’re a new writer. In fact, they’re a fantastic place to start.
