“I’ve learned to be a lot more flexible and I can write basically anywhere.” Crystal Hana Kim talks about writing after having a baby during the pandemic in this episode of the Writing F(r)iction podcast hosted by author Michael Johnston. Kim’s essay “How to Keep Going” is featured in the January/February issue of Poets & Writers Magazine.

“It was September: autumn only in advertisements, cartoon-orange leaves and red backpacks lining the signs for back-to-school sales, the warmth whittling down but still keeping us in short sleeves.” In this Books Are Magic event, Kyle Lucia Wu reads from her debut novel, Win Me Something (Norton, 2021), and speaks with Crystal Hana Kim about her writing process.

In the Doing Stuff With Writers video series, Nafissa Thompson-Spires, author of Heads of the Colored People (37 Ink, 2018), spends time engaging in non-literary activities with writers and discusses how these interests overlap with writing in unexpected ways. In this episode, Crystal Hana Kim, author of If You Leave Me (William Morrow, 2018), teaches Thompson-Spires the art of throwing a ceramic bowl on a pottery wheel.
