It's just when people write / work together at the same time and check in to hold each other accountable. I usually do mine on YouTube. Here's a link to one: youtube.com/live/YznJ9P4...

Oh, dope! I wish you all the success with that! And if you ever want someone to write with, I host writing sprints regularly.
And thank you for considering our book! Our team poured a lot of love and hard work into the pages 🤎

It's an adult fantasy anthology featuring 14 short stories that display the breadth of fantasy from romance and dystopian to dark fantasy and horror. Full page artwork accompanies the stories.

Thanks! Just a reminder, these are adult stories with adult themes. I'm not sure how old your daughters are, but I wanted to let you know 🤎

If the house is on fire, we'll just ignore the smoke and everything burning down because it'll go away if we don't talk about it.
So pay attention here: we stop racism by calling out when people are racist and holding them accountable until they do better.
Respectfully, argue with yourself.

No, they're adult! Some of them have mature themes.

No. Hard no. To all of that.
Reverse racism can't exist. And we're allowed to have stories that are written for us. Just like there are white stories that don't include anyone else.
It's not about being better or less than. It's about us choosing to take up space and not apologizing for it.

Ha! 🤣
We'll have to remember to include them next time. Maybe 😏

Unfortunately, no.
This is an adult anthology. Each story comes with its own content warnings, but there's violence, death, and sex included in some of the stories.
I wouldn't recommend it for anyone under 16.

No. Not at all.
Why would it feel hollow to find our audience? We *want* Black readers to find this book and know their experiences are reflected in the pages.
And if non-Black people buy it out of a sense of duty, guilt, etc. that's still coins in our pocket, supporting us 🤷🏾♀️
And the book is good
