Glory and New York Times best-selling author Brit Bennett talk about her latest novel, The Vanishing Half. In this episode, they also get in the weeds talking about the task of writing a story that tackles race and colorism, what Brit’s revision process looks like, and how workshopping her first novel helped her develop a dictatorial manner towards her work. We will also be speaking with The Skimm's Bridget Armstrong about what she's been reading lately.
