ABOUT BROWN PAPER

Brown Paper began a repository for my publications (mostly book reviews). I then started blogging about books, bookish matters, and occasionally writing about other issues that interested me.

I now work primarily as a writing consultant, but continue to blog about books that interest me. I focus on feminist and multicultural writing, especially immigrant fiction. I do not review poetry, prescriptive non-fiction, chick lit, erotica, thrillers or inspirational /religious work.

Please see the review policy section for more details if you are interested in having your book reviewed.
