You go girl! And thank you for the timely reminder that the US doesn't have the monopoly on non-monogamy and how it is expressed.

Neither does the U.S. have the monopoly on the publishing industry! It may seem like it, but Deepa's post reminds us of the world of books outside U.S. publishing--and the world is better for it.

I've never heard of West but yours is the memoir I've cued up to read. Best wishes to you.

This piece is a great sequel to this post of yours from a few years ago: https://deepa.substack.com/p/no-32-how-i-got-my-agent-in-29367 post from a few years ago, a post I just discovered because of Open Secrets Mag. Quite a publishing journey!

Beautiful Deepa! So glad you told your story. I also appreciated you sharing about the boundaries you set for your family. So important.

I'm glad your voice is being heard. I've always read UK published authors. My experience with US publishers mirrors yours.
