I’ve been writing with the T&T Guardian since 1998, and writing a regular column there since maybe 2006. (Yes, you read it right…I’m not really sure how long it’s been. My record keeping sucks.)<\/p>\n

This week marks the end of that relationship. From today I’m no longer a Guardian columnist or writer. I’m a former<\/strong><\/em> Guardian columnist and writer. Ha!<\/p>\n

As I explain in the column, I have moved on in order to administer The Allen Prize for Young Writers, the NGO I founded last year. I’ve been planning and plotting this move for a long time and I can’t wait. Yesterday I did a budget for the Prize and nearly fell through the floor at the amount of money we have to raise. But God is good and this is a worthy effort. I know I’ll get support–in fact, I already am getting support from the good people on my board and committees, and my friends and family.<\/p>\n

So wish me well!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
