"This collection of essays by writers of color from the South addresses issues of race and immigration by asking the question, who belongs here? The answers range from heartbreaking to humorous." Thanks to @ajc for including TWO of our books on this list! https://t.co/CWKi3OK5CS

Books have the potential to shape our lives. My library is full of books that played a significant role on my journey. I love hearing how books change or provide momentum for a persons trajectory. What is that book for you? #amreading #writerslift #bookish https://t.co/VOzuNGgFyK

I came *this* close to being on this list with my own bookstore. 📚 It may still happen. But for now, I wanted to share love for those black-owned bookstores that are thriving. #bookish #blackowned #bookstore #amreading #BuyBlack #publishers

We are so excited to host @jifueko @whimsicallyours and @MarkDoesStuff tonight for a celebration of Jordan's debut fantasy epic, Raybearer. One of Jordan's events (with Dhonielle Clayton @brownbookworm) was attacked Wednesday night by people making racial threats.

I was debating with a friend about traditional #publishing vs #selfpublishing . I’m a traditionalist and argued for the former. She argued for the latter, citing Covid-19 challenges. Then I saw this article about the #authorpublisher . What’s your take? https://t.co/J9ggIpw4dw

[SimoneAdams @bySimoneAdams]

I’m loving this list!! So many talented Black authors from several countries. Please retweet and share with other readers/writers!! #blackauthors #writerslift

@bradfordlit Not to devalue her sentiment, but I agree with your nephew! I may have nightmares about Sarah. 😟

@JennMJacksonPhD This may be the perfect place to ask...I just received my MFA but I’m still in touch w/ my professors. I’m 43, same age as them, but I still use Dr. or Prof. In their reply emails, they sign w/ just a first name. Is this an invite for me to use their first name or am I reaching??

Hello @twitter & #WritingCommunity... I've been busy working on my thesis (finally got that MFA, yes!) and building my business (https://t.co/kXiBcIWuLG). But now, I'm baaaaack! So, what'd I miss on twitter the past few years? 🤓

She stopped the chemo. She wanted to taste again, to smell, to live... All this so she could be ready to die. So she did and she was.

For three days, Death sat in the corner of the room, waiting patiently for her family to say their goodbyes.

I wanted this moment as if I knew what I was doing. However, at the end of the night, he was still a gentleman and I was still a virgin.

I looked at the white man wearing the white coat in the white room as he pulled back the white sheet. Then everything went black.

Once upon a time there lived a girl who was not a princess, had no evil stepmother, and didn't kiss a prince. She lived happily ever after.
