Read A LOT. This has been said before but it stands repeating. Read in your genre and outside your genre. Seeing the finished product on the page will ultimately help you in understanding structure and how those draft pages should look.

Hey guys, wondering if anyone can help me please. I’m looking for someone who can donate books by Black authors to an initiative I’m working on next week. Publishers, book stores or libraries etc. I know it’s very short notice but any leads would be great! Thank you 🫶🏾

I live in one of the richest black counties in the country. Growing up in the poorest part of this county, I used to think poverty was the root of most crimes. But something’s going on with our children. The fighting. The ghost guns. The uptick in violence. It’s Heartbreaking
