Indira Ganesan (FAWC Writing Fellow 1984-85, 1985-86) has written three critically acclaimed novels published by Alfred A. Knopf: The Journey, Inheritance, and As Sweet As Honey. Paperbacks and translations have appeared from other houses, including Vintage Books and Beacon Press. Fellowships include The Mary Ingraham Bunting Institute of Radcliffe College, the W.K.

A regional finalist for Granta’s first Best American Novelists Under Forty campaign, Indira’s work has been selected as a Barnes and Noble Notable Book, and has been on noted fiction lists.

Peter Kazon is a writer who lives with his husband and golden retriever in Provincetown and Boston, MA. After practicing law for many years in Washington, DC, he retired in 2018 to pursue writing full-time—one of the best decisions of his life. His stories have appeared in The Kenyon Review, Boston Review, Electric Literature, Catamaran Literary Reader, and Beloit Fiction Journal. He has attended Bread Loaf Writers Conference, Kenyon Summer Writing Workshop as well as numerous courses at the Fine Arts Work Center, to which he will always be grateful for rekindling his love of writing. He is completing a collection of interconnected short stories that focus on how the members of one family—their lives and relationships—are affected by the social and cultural changes buffeting the country from the early 1950’s through the beginning of the 21st Century.
