We have turned off our shipping to Canada, because import fees are so high right now. To date, we haven’t shipped orders to Canada. But if you ARE in Canada and want titles from us, let us know, and we’ll set you up with digital copies 📚💙

Welp, a stranger said to me “Looks like congratulations are in order.” Which ofc means pregnant. Guess it also means I don’t look 65 🙃

I want to set up something like the National Poetry Series for chapbooks. One submission, several presses, several judges, big deal. So if anyone wants to fund that, I'd love to do it without a submissions fee.

A brilliant and must read article! “Get someone else to do it” isn’t apathy; it’s a conscious reallocation of energy. Black women are redefining what activism and leadership look like. Instead of pouring into systems that deplete us, we’re pouring into ourselves, our families, and our communities."

It makes me so happy to see your book announcements, cover reveals, preorder links, blurb opinions. Please, give them to me. It's a gift. You want to know why? It means books still exist, writers still exist, and that is the world I want to live in. Yes, everything is awful. I still want books.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

If you're wondering whether you should promote your book or your latest publication now with all the chaos, the answer is yes. We need your words. We need to flood the channels with art and literature. So go for it, friends.

I was looking for an ok-to-eat cookie dough recipe & flashed on how common it is for kids & adults to eat it. Then remembered the time in elementary when my mama caught me eating raw dough—even now I feel surprise it’s common & doesn’t mean I’m bad & a freak. #childhood #abuse #writing #talksmack
