Congratulations to A.K. Kulshreshth on the longlist!
A.K. was a participant in Jing-Jing Lee‘s ‘How to Finish Your Novel’ workshop in March 2021. Here is what he had to say about the course:
“In five years, I have started and given up on two novels. I joined the How to Finish Your Novel course with the feeling that the title was a bit over-the-top. As the instructor Jing Jing Lee explained, her journey to the final draft of her book took many years. As it turned out, the course finished on 20 May, and I finished a first, very rough, draft of a novel on 4 July.”
