The Hello and welcome to Backlisted, the podcast that gives new life to old books.

Today you find us in South Atlanta getting ready to testify at the Greater Christ

Emanuel Pentecostal Church of the Fire Baptist.

I'm John Richardson, the publisher-unbound, the platform where readers crowd-fund books they really

Joining us today is the Keshukla writer editor journalist. He's the author of three novels, the latest, the one who wrote

Destiny, was recently published by Atlantic books, and his first book for

teenagers Run Riot has just been released by Hodder.

Nukesh edited the best-selling and game-changing anthology, The Good Immigrant,

is the editor of the Literary Journal, The Good Journal, and co-founder with Julia Kingsford of The Good

Literary Agency, an agency which aims to increase

opportunities for representations for all writers underrepresented in mainstream

publishing. And also Nkesh is of all the hardest working men and show
