The Stokes Center for Creative Writing at the University of South Alabama is pleased to share a craft talk by Shanthi Sekaran on how to write outside of your experience. Sekaran's most recent novel, Boomi’s Boombox, follows a young girl who accidentally travels back in time to meet her dad, who has recently died from Covid-19.  Boomi’s Boombox—and The Samosa Rebellion—are written for 8-12-year-olds, but are inspiring for all ages. Shanthi Sekaran’s most recent adult novel, Lucky Boy (Putnam/Penguin), was named an IndieNext Great Read and an NPR Best Book of 2017. Her writing has also appeared in The New York Times, Salon.com, LA Review of Books and Huffington Post. Sekaran recently finished her work as a staff writer of the NBC medical drama, New Amsterdam. Sekaran lives in Berkeley with her family and a cat named Frog.
