Hi, and welcome to Dwell.

My name is Andrew Boryga, and I’m a Bronx, New York born and raised novelist and writer who lives in Miami, Florida with his wife, two little kids, and cute dog.

My debut novel, VICTIM, was published in 2024 by Doubleday Books. It was named a New York Times Editor’s Choice Pick, as well as a Best Book of 2024 by NPR, the BBC, LitHub, SheReads, and Debutiful. You can purchase the novel from your favorite retailer, here.

VICTIM is a satire of the media, virtue signaling, and tear-jerking trauma plots, that asks what real diversity looks like and how far one man is willing to go to make his story gets all the clicks.

While going through the process of getting my novel ready for publication, I found myself reflecting on my creative journey and started Dwell in 2022 as a way to share some insights I’ve collected and document my publishing journey–in the hopes that it might help and inspire other writers or creatives out there.

My goal with Dwell is to keep things fresh, informative, concise, and, hopefully, useful. Dwell is and has always been free to read.

I hope you’ll consider sharing space in your inbox and coming along for the ride.

Peace,

Andrew
