Just a few reminders...
First, reminder that I’m doing a virtual Zoom workshop with ZORA senior editor and author Morgan Jerkins tonight at 6 p.m. ET called “How to Pitch as a Minority,” open to all but focused specifically on pitching both articles and larger projects from a marginalized position. REGISTER HERE
Second, I also get to talk tonight at 6 pm PT / 9 pm ET to the wonderful Jennifer Finney Boylan about Fairest and her own recent memoir Good Boy. Jenny is one of my major inspirations so it’s going to be a special night for me. WATCH US ON FB
Next week, I’ll be speaking with my own wonderful agent Seth Fishman on “When and How to Find the Right Literary Agent.” We’ll discuss not just how to get an agent, which is the first part of the mission, but also making sure that agent is right for you. The process of doing that works differently for different writers depending on a whole host of factors, so Seth and I are going to hash those out to put you in the best position in your search.

Also, I got to participate in this wonderful NPR Life Kit episode hosted by Tuck Woodstock from the Gender Reveal podcast. Plus, I got to be on the same podcast as Chase Strangio, one of the ACLU attorneys who were instrumental in the Supreme Court decision to ban workplace discrimination against LGBTQ+ people.
Finally, buy a couple of books by Black authors this week, would you?
Hope to see you soon,
Meredith
