Read excerpts of Kim's published writing here. She is currently elbow-deep into a novel about inheritance and forbidden love surrounding the slave trade in 18th-century West Africa. She has completed a feature-length screenplay on the same topic and has written a memoir about living in Ghana.
Kim is also working on a short story collection inspired by oral tales about her family, who moved from Alabama to Vauxhall, NJ, during the Great Migration. On the back-burner is a speculative novel set in the future.
Other writing honors include a Hambidge Center NEA Fellowship, Kimbilio Fiction Fellowship, Rona Jaffe Foundation/Vermont Studio Center Fellowship, Illinois Arts Council Fellowship, and a Fulbright Fellowship to Ghana, where Kim conducted research for her novel. She received an MFA in Creative Writing from Chicago State University.
