In this episode, Lookout Books editor and writing professor KaToya Ellis Fleming (MFA '18) reflects on the work of editing the award-winning anthology Bigger Than Bravery: Black Resilience and Reclamation in a Time of Pandemic. Bigger Than Bravery was edited by the late Valerie Boyd who founded the MFA in narrative nonfiction program at UGA. Publishers’s Weekly listed Bigger than Bravery among their Big Indie books of fall, Library Journal named it one of the best books of 2022 and Foreword Indies named it the silver winner for Anthologies. It also won the Georgia Author of the Year Award in the Specialty Book category. KaToya talks about the wonder of editing writers she had long admired and the labor of love in completing the project after Boyd passed away before its publication date. Also in this episode, Lolis Eric Elie, a former mentor in our writing program reads from his essay "A Survivor Looks Back" and program mentor and alumna Rosalind Bentley (MFA '17) reads from her essay "Iron and Brass."
