Fernando Jr., and the 2023 Center for Fiction First Novel Prize winner We Are a Haunting by Tyriek White.

Rola is drawn to ideas that challenge the literary norm and evocative storytelling that highlights the voices of those who have been traditionally underrepresented in publishing. She's seeking prose-forward nonfiction in the fields of cultural criticism and memoir as well as voice-driven, experimental literary fiction and literature in translation.
