Guest Post: Writing with Baggage by Charish Reid
When I first saw this tweet, I laughed until I realized that I was being dragged by Twitter’s #WritingCommunity. As you can imagine, thousands of writers liked and retweeted this image, making us all a band of scarred adults just trying to keep our collective shit together. Sure, I’ve had therapy and journaled my feelings, but there’s nothing quite satisfying like giving all my baggage over to another person and seeing how they sort it out. I’m not ashamed to say that I do that with my own Continue Reading

Guest Post: White Whiskey Bargain’s Origin Story by Jodie Slaughter
The original idea for White Whiskey Bargain came to me a few years ago. The book that I started back then was pretty different from what it eventually became. One thing that stayed the same throughout, though, was the fact that the main characters were people of color -- Black and Latinx people specifically. White Whiskey Bargain takes place throughout multiple small towns in Appalachian Kentucky. The MCs are an African-American woman and a Mexican-American man respectively, both from families Continue Reading
