About

Hi!  I’m Tananarive Due, a novelist and screenwriter based in Southern California.  I have won an American Book Award and an NAACP Image Award, but this site isn’t about my books–it’s my writing diary.

I’m also a writing teacher and coach.  When I attend writer’s conferences and book club meetings or teach a new class, I’m often asked about the process of writing.   Other writers want tips, and people who don’t write simply want to understand how books come to be.   This is what I’m working on now.

Welcome to my writing day.
