I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.
At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

Hi #DVPIT loves.
Be sure to look at my Black Authors starter kit for names and pitches as well. This algorithim is weird next to Twitter's/Xs and so what I'm seeing is a lot of Black Authors fading out of the algo due to typical engagement.

SO LET THEM BURN and THIS ENDS IN EMBERS (yes, both!) have earned out.
SO LET THEM BURN, my debut novel, came out a year ago. THIS ENDS IN EMBERS completed the duology in February. And now every time someone buys a copy in any format, I earn royalties.
I can't stop crying. Thank you so much.

#PreDV was great! It was a trending hashtag all day! (& it's still trending now!) Saw so many amazing pitches for #DVPit!
*If you didn't get as much feedback as you were hoping for, then a hack is to look at other pitches and see what advice they got and incorporate that advice to your own pitches!*
