Southern Living included De'Shawn Charles Winslow on their great list of “Contemporary Southern Writers to Read Right Now,” highlighting both IN WEST MILLS and DECENT PEOPLE. SIBA’s Southern Bookseller Review ran a short “Spotlight” feature on DECENT PEOPLE, and Vol. 1 Brooklyn included a review of the book on its “Morning Bites” round-up. The Rumpus also published a great Q&A with Winslow, where Winslow teased his next project: “All I’ll say for now is that I’m stepping away from the fictional town of West Mills for my next project. I’m going to use a real North Carolina town, and it’ll be set in the ‘80s. No murders this time, but there will be deaths.” Bloomsbury published DECENT PEOPLE on January 17, 2023.
