The Author Project

Praise for Malaika Favorite

“Though speculative in nature, The Author Project presents familiar behaviors and tendencies that give uncanny glimpses and reflections of current events readers will easily recognize.”
– Gina Ferrara, author of Weight of the Ripened, editor for New Orleans Poetry Review

“Provocative and deeply engrossing. This fast-paced book will make readers question today’s decisions and their impact on the future.”
– Frank Stewart, author of Time Will Tell: Studies in African American History

“The thesis of this novella is incredibly powerful and the writing inviting.”
– Philip Kolin, distinguished Professor Emeritus and author of over 40 books on Shakespeare and Tennessee Williams

“Some stories are full of truth. Some of magic, or beauty, or knowledge, or foresight. Malaika Favorite’s new novella, The Author Project, is full of all of these, at once, on every page. This book lays bare so much about human nature, ambition, greed, technology, politics, survival, and life, there’s nothing to do but read it wide-eyed and nodding in agreement first page to last. Favorite’s gifts have always been her vision, her imagery, and her ability to craft immaculate language into clear, honest narrative. The Author Project contains these gifts in abundance, and for all of them, for this author, I am very grateful.”
– Jack B. Bedell, author of Ghost Forest, Poet Laureate of Louisiana, 2017-2019
