I help self-published authors and teach women to think outside the box about their God-given purpose.

Doing a beta read or a critique of another writer's work always strengthens your own writing.

I feel seen. 😂 #writinglife

[CG Drews @PaperFury]

my two writing moods
(1) I want to write absolutely EVERYTHING, let me invent a new wip real quick, the spark of inspiration is HERE, I have 9 docs open let's go.
(2) what if I write solely in my head while laying gently on the carpet for the rest of forever

Apparently it’s my 13th #MyTwitterAnniversary! How fitting that FB & IG crashed today and I’m now considering returning to Twitter as a result 😂

[Lisa Gant @lisacgant]

You: Guess what? I'm going to (insert something amazing here)!

Them: You can't do that! No one's ever done that before.

You: Well, I guess I'll be the first then...

I emphatically agree with this. I’m a different person without sleep. It’s not great. Well-rested hustle is the best kind, imo. #teamwellrested

Can we (creative community) stop pushing this "team no no sleep" agenda???

You can hustle, get to the bag and more and STILL get your 8 hours of sleep. I promise you lol

[Nicole Lesperance @NicLesperance]

I hate these "Never, ever do X!" writing rules. Your prologue might be amazing! An adverb might be the exact right word to use in that sentence. Just write your book the best, most beautiful, you-est way possible.

@jenpeterson34 That's awesome! Proud of you, girl!

[Lisa Gant @lisacgant]

Super proud of my sister @AngelaIRL for all her hard work!! I'm so excited to see her get the recognition she deserves. She is a force to be reckoned with and I can't wait to see what God has for her next. Love you sis! #blackgirlmagic #Brandweek2019

Why you should hire black women for social :

You're looking at a group photo of GSDM.. the marketing agency that did the digital strategy for @PopeyesChicken.

The girl circled is responsible for the tweet that set the brand on fire with over 3B impressions.

Black authors and our books for kids & teens have grown. I'm so happy to see books being published in all genres. We're bestsellers with growing audiences! The industry can't say these books don't sell. Because they do *especially* with support! It's not a trend, it's the future.

@THEAlishaNicole Just started my podcast earlier this month! I am loving the process of building it from the ground up 😊

WRITER BIG SISTER ADVICE:

As a writer your book is going be loved by a lot of people, disliked by a lot of people, and yes, even ignored.

It's NOT your job to please everyone.

It's your job to write a book you're proud of.

That's it.

This is a great example of using your privilege and sending the elevator back down y'all.

[Lisa Gant @lisacgant]

YES! THIS! By far the best thing I've done for my writing and social life lol. It took me years to find the right critique group, but it was absolutely worth the wait. Shout out to @doreeweller, @MaryAOsteen and @jenpeterson34 for all your support. Y'all are the best 😊

[Jessica S Olson @JessicaOlson123]

One thing that has helped me grow as a writer more than almost anything else is sharing my work with others for critique.

It’s always better to acknowledge the experiences of teens than pretend this stuff doesn’t happen. I don’t swear, but my characters do. 😉
