Editor

Kukuwa Fraser (née Ashun) is an editor at Flatiron Books looking to build a list of literary, historical, and/or contemporary fiction that primarily centers a cast of nuanced, dynamic Black/Afro-identifying or BIPOC characters. She is an avid advocate for historically underrepresented voices, intergenerational stories, and is drawn to fun, engaging narratives that have a balance of humor and heart at its core. Her authors at Flatiron currently include debut writers İnci Atrek, Ruthvika Rao, and Rufaro Faith Mazarura. Prior to joining the team in 2020, Kukuwa worked with Writopia Lab, One Story Inc., the National Book Foundation, and received her MFA in fiction from NYU.
