The Author’s Mic™ | Author Voice, Identity, and Writing Without Apology

Описание: Happy Black History Month.

In this episode of The Author’s Mic, I’m talking about author voice.

Not branding.
Not marketing.
Not trends.

I’m talking about the voice you write from. The one that shows up on the page whether you’re trying to control it or not.

For Black authors and authors of color, voice is layered. It’s history. It’s context. It’s lived experience. And too often, that voice gets questioned, softened, or edited for someone else’s comfort before the reader ever meets it.

In this episode, I talk about:
• why “finding your voice” isn’t always a craft exercise
• how voice and identity get tangled in publishing
• why editing yourself can dilute your work
• how You Sound White became a turning point for me
• writing from truth instead of writing around it
• writing without apology

If you’re an author questioning your voice, this one is for you.

📚 Books mentioned:
You Sound White
Wait For It (also available as an audiobook)
