Top Writing Award to Texas State Professor
Jennifer DuBois has won many awards for her writing, but her latest novel “Cartwheel” has granted her the prestige of the Whiting Award, given annually to ten emerging writers in nonfiction, fiction, poetry and plays.

DuBois will be in Massachusetts on the 25th of November, headed back for the Thanksgiving holiday and doing a book signing for “Cartwheel,” a story about a foreign exchange student whose roommate is murdered and puts into question whether she’s innocent or guilty. The Chicago Tribune praised the novel saying it was, “Provocative, meaningful, and suspenseful…. [A] page turner.”
