Writing in Color: Fourteen Writers on the Lessons We've Learned by Melody Simpson, Nafiza Azad

emotional hopeful informative fast-paced

5.0

OH WOW
This anthology consists of stories for aspiring bipoc authors, how to find ideas, stick with your idea, characterization, etc. HOWEVER, as the publishing is white-centred company, these essays also revolved around systemic racism, colorism, selected diversification and unfairness. Thus, making it very very valuable.

As a person of color myself, if not an aspiring writer, I feel seen and understood. This is what I've been dealing with my life the whole time and things I shouldn't be comfortable with. Things about being global south countries🫶🏽

Some of these essays are totally wholesome 😭🥺

It told about affirmation as well as struggles. But it reminded us all the same that we're not doing it alone💗

I love it. Highly highly recommended 👌
