I’m in my familiar: a coffee shop in a college town. I’m in Amherst for the weekend for a reunion (of sorts) with peeps from grad school. I’ve done so much writing here, in this very spot, years ago. So great to reunite with my favorite lattes at one of my favorite spots. ☕️

Wow, @CoCo_penexplore this makes the work you do even more impressive and vital. I hope more people listen to, watch and support Black Writers Read (then purchase books of the writers you highlight).
OMG In the Penguin Random House/S&S antitrust trial it was revealed that out of 58,000 trade titles published per year, half of those titles sell fewer than one dozen books. LESS THAN ONE DOZEN.
