Philippa Brewster recognized a gap in the market for a nonfiction imprint covering history, biography, travel, and cultural studies, launching Pandora Press.
Back then, the publishing industry was male-dominated, with editors and authors mostly being men. Feminism began to challenge this norm through initiatives like Virago and Women's Press.
As I spoke to Philippa about my novel idea, it dawned on me that perhaps my stories belonged in nonfiction, illuminating the complexities of my upbringing.
Philippa’s astute question about my novel's classification highlighted the tension between personal narrative and genre, prompting me to reconsider how to frame my story.
