Pride Month Author Interview: A Conversation with KT Hoffman
June 18, 2024
This interview was a contribution by Megan Tripp, Associate Director of Social Media, Consumer Marketing. She can be found in her book-filled Manhattan apartment, usually reading books about gay rights and gay wrongs, or on Instagram at @booksnblazers. KT Hoffman is originally from Beaverton, Oregon and currently lives in Brooklyn. He received his bachelor’s degree in English and Creative Writing from Stanford University. If he isn’t writing about trans hope and gay kissing, he’s probably white-knuckling his way through the ninth inning of a Seattle Mariners game. THE PROSPECTS is his debut novel.
