August 27, 2020 39. Freelance Editor and Writer, Anette King, The Blurb Diva
I have known Anette for the better part of four years. She is a confidant, a push and a wonder to behold. It was through her friendship and push that I came out of my shell to begin to try and make writing thing I desired to make money doing. With this interview, I hope that you all begin to love her as much as I do. Also, to be empowered to write--as never before. Anette is a jewel in my writing world, and a pop upside the head when I even believe I cannot go on.
Black Writers Matter...and so do the people that support them. Thank you for everything, Anette.

August 13, 2020 38. Interview With Tonia Ransom, Executive Producer of Nightlight: The Black Horror Podcast
"I know that I am a rare bird." -Octavia E. Butler
I have been a fan of Tonia Ransom for almost 3 years, and have referenced her on this show previously. She is a friend, collaborator and felt Season 3 would not be complete without talking to Tonia about writing, her love of horror writing, and need for finding the flock of more rare birds.

July 09, 2020 36. Legacy, Ink, And Pages
There is nothing easy about writing. With that said, you have to understand the RIGHT to even WRITE has been paid for. It is the duty of a writer to write. James Baldwin admonishes us to 'do your work.' So, do you work. It must be done, and must be done by you. I believe in you. Keep going.

This week's SEND FOR A POET segment is by St. Louis, MO spoken word artist, Dani Skye. Follow us in IG (@thewritersblockpodcastofficial) for Dani Skye's flyer for her August show on Zoom. Follow her on social media:
