Author: Shelby Renjifo

Shelby Renjifo’s new novella, A Wasp at the Funeral, was published to critical acclaim. She completed it while hustling through her day job as a screenwriter. What’s it like to write for the page versus the screen? How does one approach storytelling for these different mediums? Renjifo breaks it down for us, as well as shares the delightful story of the family at the center of the book, all of whom are delivering the ultimate performance: giving eulogies at the funeral of their fallen scion, a young man of questionable character.
