I’m a big believer in lowering the ladder back down, so with all of what happened today in publishing, I want to extend an invite to any junior editor, especially if you are BIPOC, to DM me or email me via my website if you’d like to get advice or mentorship.
It's time, ya'll--Savvy's preorder swag is now available!! Upload a copy of your receipt to receive a signed bookplate, character stickers, a strawberry tiramisu recipe card with commissioned art by @eklixio, and a special thank you from me!🥰

Have you read today's newsletter from @BIPOC_Bookshelf?? I'm so honored to be a featured guest writer--I wrote a piece called "Romancing the Foodie: Incorporating Food Into Your Writing". I may have shared a few of my fave food pics. Bon appetit! 😋

UPDATE: I got up at the butt-crack of dawn putting together a list of volunteer positions I may need for @BIPOC_Bookshelf
Movement won't start till after the New Year, but here is a form to help me get started/stay organized. https://t.co/AuTkAa65Vp
THANK YOU for your patience!
I feel like I'm gonna get my feelings hurt for asking this question but 😅...
Say I needed help with the @BIPOC_Bookshelf because I want to grow the platform... are there people (allies included) out there down to help?
I'm not above deleting this tweet later if I get crickets.
👋🏾 We're looking for a Guest Writer (BIPOC writer, author, or publishing professional) who could chat about TRACK CHANGES.
- How to use
- Tips on using it
- The importance of this feature
Why? Well, some are unaware of track changes until they're agented.

Screaming, shaking, SO EXCITED to announce I'm officially taking applications for the ✨BookEnds 2022 Publishing Fellowship!✨
I created the fellowship last year to support the needed diversity and transparency/mentorship within this industry & it's back!
