Season 6, Episode 9: The Reluctant Romantic (ft. Jsin Graham)
Episode description
Happy New Year! Yaki and Tati are back from the holiday break. We have a great interview with author Jsin Graham, contemporary fiction and sometimes romance author. We talk about his procss, his catalog, and how poetry led him to a life .
About Jsin:Jsin Graham is a communication strategist by day, who pens unapologetically real and
tactile fiction centering the Black experience by night. A writer since the age of six, he
has created everything from short stories to poems to song lyrics. Graham’s present
focus, however, is on longer-form works that provide a broader canvas to paint the
detailed narratives he enjoys composing. Since his initial release, Unacceptable
Behavior: A Thirteen Story Introduction to Storytelling (2018), he has released a
two-book novella series, one holiday-themed novelette, and appeared in Cleis Press’
2022 anthology, The Big Book of Orgasms, Vol. 2.
The contemporary adult fiction and reluctant Black romance author presents his writing
as relatable, unpredictable, sexy, and ever-changing. Just like life. In his own words,
“Black people are not a monolith, and thus neither is my storytelling.” Regardless of
genre, erotica, romance, or something completely different, he writes for two reasons.
To tell an enjoyable story and to convince you to come back for more.
When not writing, the D.C. area native spends his time reading, with his family, and
collaborating with entrepreneurs creatively.
