After Color

The novelist will be joined in conversation with Cosmographia Books founding editor Nina Alvarez.

From celebrated artist Malaika Favorite, winner of the Cosmographia Books Prize for Spiritual Fiction, comes a mesmerizing story told in luminous prose that makes readers feel the wonder—and terror—of seeing color in a colorless world. After Color asks what it means to be visibly, undeniably different in a world that demands sameness—and whether the courage to remain true to yourself can light the way for others to see.

Malaika Favorite is an acclaimed visual artist and writer whose work is featured in major collections across the United States. She has garnered multiple prestigious awards, including the Cosmographia Books Prize for Spiritual Fiction (After Color, 2025), the April Gloaming Publishing Moon Meridian Novella Award (The Author Project, 2024), and the Broadside Lotus Press Naomi Long Madgett Poetry Award (Ascension, 2016). Her earlier works include Dreaming at the Manor and Illuminated Manuscript.
