It's too many of us writing our little hearts out to only have one or two likes, Black Reads is here to change that. A little exposure to the community who best resonates with your perspective anyway!
Glad I found this space. I have been wondering where We are. I'm about to have a chicken sandwich and try not to follow EVERY account. It's not going to work but a girl can try.
I am a self published author and big fan of books- fiction mostly but I love a juicy nonfic.
I am a self published author of 14 novels that center Black love and relationships. My books are at booksbydlwhite.com/books. There is a link to series if you're more of a binge reader. My books skew from warm women's fiction to steamy romance and there are a few sappy holiday books in there as well. My substack is new and still building at authordlwhite.substack.com. I plan to post short fiction pieces, book teases, my thoughts on writing and publishing and I also cross post my weekly author podcast which can be found via your fave podcast app, on my website and my youtube channel.
14 novels!? That is amazing! I only have one published book right now, I’m a baby in the game but this is inspiring!
I can’t wait to check them out and add them to my book collection I’m now rebuilding! Thanks so much for sharing this I’ll be sure to add it to this coming week’s Black Reads. Also if you ever want to contribute your writing to one of our Sunday Service Announcements or other newsletters just let me know!
14! Time is gonna pass and these people in my head don't shut up, so I write down what they say. I will let you know if a feature comes to me. Sounds awesome. Today's hair story reminds me of a scene I researched for my book about dueling salon owners and a home hair dye job gone bad... *shakes head slowly* I would love to pick up your book if it is for sale.
Talk about it! I have soooooo many ideas for this space. I need to connect with you and @John Noire for a collab piece on Black music. There is this series I am starting and I think you two would be PERFECT!
I absolutely love that you are amplifying Black writers. Thank you, Jacquie. I will throw my name in the hat! I launched on May 30 with a mission to inspire more good in the world. I’m sharing reflections, inspiring stories, and thought-provoking ideas alongside occasional interviews with people who I think are changing the world. 💫💛 http://thegoodunlocked.substack.com
Thank you so much for the feature Jacquie!! 🥹🤎 i really love what you’re doing here especially because substack is starting to say that notes is what will help us get found on the platform
Awww, thank you, Ciara! I didn’t think about how adding the notes could help in that way but now that you pointed it out I think that might be something I continue to be intentional about. Thank you for being a part of this community! 🖤
i LOVE the format of this!
Feed me short Notes, memes and updates as an appetizer then longer form pieces complete with introductions.
You doing it, Jacquie! 🧿
Thank you, Rachel! That means so much coming from you!
