The only hard part is what I meant I meant to Black writers. In the meantime: you have three other options for Black publishers in the whole United States of America! Chris Jackson, Dawn Davis and Krishna Trotman. Am I missing anyone?

I very rarely actually tweet. But as an author of color who just signed with Pantheon Books -- Lisa Lucas was one of the reasons I was so excited. She is a role model in so many senses of the word. So so brokenhearted. 💔

I’m good everyone. I think it might be annoying for publishing that I am. And now we wait and see if I’m banished or if there is a place for me!

I too am stunned by the Lisa Lucas news! From the first moment we started talking she immediately got why telling stories abt Black women like Queen Mother Moore was so important. no justifications needed! Not to mention she’s just a delight to talk about books and writing with 💔

Last night on our livestream we tried to name 3 unproblematic men in the media. We came up with Mr. Rogers (technically doesn’t count but it’s fine), Keanu Reeves, and Paul Rudd. Who else?

About 2 years ago I bought my mom a Range Rover for Mother's Day. I think I finally topped it this year. I hired a company to come declutter and organize her entire house, and I've never seen her happier.

An excellent birthday gift!! 🥰

So what are some good funemployment activities? ASKING FOR ME

Anyway. Hope you liked the books! Pantheon is the best! I kind of like leaving like Schiffrin.

As for what’s next: who knows! Free agent! I suppose I’ll think about that tomorrow? What do you think I should do/be when I grow up?

It was a wonderful almost 3.5 years. I learned so much! I adore my team and my authors and love so many of my colleagues who I will know forever. Meanwhile: it was an honor to get to finally, briefly work in publishing!
