Talking Black Fiction

I am joined on the first Live Stream of Books 'n' Shit by four unapologetically black female friends, to discuss the positive and negatives of Black Fiction and the state of the industry today.

We talk black love, good and bad representation by Black authors and what we can do as readers and writers, to dispel these stereotypes and create images of black excellence.

Follow all the lovely ladies on their socials here: @ayosfantasypodcast, @authorknl, @amandatheeauthor, @writtenninmelanin to hear about their own endeavours including book subscription boxes, debut novels and new releases.

Writer Parent

It's Mother's Day here in the UK and so I decided to talk about balancing writing life and parenting as I've recently become a mother.

After checking with some of the writer parents on Instagram, people shared with me their advice for balancing this new part of my life and what works for them. Whether managing time or expectations, make sure to set realistic goals for yourself. There are so many more gems in this episode that may be of help, not only for parents but anyone having to deal with balancing writing with something else; a full time job for example.
