Zilla Jones

I am a Black female writer who is determined to use my voice, and recent events have only increased that determination. I have been working on my novel The World So Wide off and on for many years through various trials and tribulations, and I finally finished the first draft during the Covid-19 lockdown. My novel is centred around a fictionalized version of real events in Grenada, a tiny island in the Caribbean: events which have resounded through my own life. It is about trauma; about remembering and forgetting, losing and finding oneself.
