In
her fourth book, Ida B., Karen
Quinones Miller draws from her experiences
she had growing up in Harlem. In the
fictional housing projects called the
Ida B Wells Barnett Towers, residents
are faced with tragedies that force them
to take back their community. A former
reporter for the Philadelphia Inquirer,
Quinones Miller explains how she tries
to put a human face on certain types
of people and places that have been
given a bad name. Karen Quinones Miller
also shares what it was like to be turned
down by dozens of agents, successfully
self-publish her book and watch publishers
go into a bidding war after over her
first release, Satin Doll.
