Why Book Reviews Matter! Part One-The Creative Side

I’m sure everyone is tired of hearing about the conversation about reviews. As an author they’re helpful, as a reader they’re helper, but I know some folk think reviews aren’t important. I was actually inspired by an author friend M. Hollis, who recently wrote a twitter thread about how helpful reviews are to marginalized writers, who have the hardest time getting their books in front of the…

Navigating an All-White Publishing Industry

By Ebony LaDelle, marketing manager at Simon & Schuster

At this year’s Brooklyn Book Festival, I had the pleasure of meeting one of my favorite authors, Edwidge Danticat. When she found out I worked in publishing, she looked at me and said, “So you’re like a unicorn.” “I’m sorry?” I replied, star struck. “You’re one of the few black people who actually work in publishing,” she said, “You’re a unicorn.”

Growing up in the Midwest, I was fortunate. My mother taught me the power of reading at a young age.

Sooooo it's #authorlifemonth and I'm counting the days in February with hopefully a fresh post. Thanks to the lovely @missdahlelama for creating this challenge!!! Okay so confession, our first book was a YA fantasy called #themarkofnoba that was all types of fun but @dos_twinjas volunteered to show our YA stuff while I did the honors of highlighting the NA and adult books we have coming out. So I bring you #samepage , our debut NA contemporary romance that showcased a less than perfect story of two people perfect for each other with loads of obstacles In their way. Had fun setting up their first installment. Cant wait to finish this baby.

Almost, almost got my name right. And I said it all Latin-y with an accent and I didn't spell it. Just missed the d at the end😊 #Starbucks #Libertad

The Unforgettables by GL Tomas

“With that kiss, I was free to finally be myself instead of the person I pretended so long that I was. I wasn’t the perfect person and I wasn’t the perfect daughter, and now I understood that that was okay. I had to start letting my heart guide me in the right direction, otherwise, I’d never find the bravery to do something like that again.”
