Join us at the Writers House for a talk and Q&A with author Andrew Boryga on the practical side of writing a book. He’ll talk through his experience with finding an agent (when to actually start looking for one), editing a manuscript, whether or not it’s worthwhile to pay attention to the “market,” and how important it is to build a social media brand or platform if you’re trying to get published.Andrew Boryga is an author who was born and raised in the Bronx, New York but has called Miami home for a decade now. His debut novel, VICTIM, was published in 2024 and was selected as a finalist for the Gotham Book Prize, a New York Times’ Editor’s Choice, as well as a best book of the year by NPR, The BBC, LitHub and other outlets. His non-fiction writing has appeared in The New York Times, The New Yorker, and The Atlantic, among other publications. He has also taught writing to elementary students, college students, and incarcerated men. He publishes a free, monthly Substack newsletter about his adventures in publishing called Dwell.
