Second Annual Black Indie Author Week

The second annual Black Indie Author Week (BIAW) is a little over a month away and I'm SO excited about it! The theme this year is "Building Our Own" and I've got lots of great things in store for you! 

BIAW takes place on my Instagram page  @betweenthereadspodcast during the week of JUNETEENTH from the 13th through the 18th and is going to be power-packed! You read that 

There will be IG Lives, two book box giveaways, and this year's finale event is a LIVESTREAM panel discussion being recorded at Digital Empath Studios!

Here's how it works:

The week is divided into topics for each day. There will be posts on my IG page of Black-owned businesses related to each day's topic. Each night at 7 PM EST there will be an IG live with a guest speaker discussing the subject of the day.

This year's topics are:

Monday, June 13: Protecting Our Own Guest Speaker: Radiance Harris, Trademark Attorney Tuesday, June 14: Inventing Our Own Guest Speaker: LaKase Cousino, Creator of  The Seelie Crow magazine & Cous Cous Media Wednesday, June 15: Building Our Own Guest Speakers: Demetrius & Celena Frazier, Owners of Resist Booksellers Thursday, June 16: Writing Our Own Guest Speaker: Janay Harden, Author of Forty-Two Minutes Friday, June 17: Publishing Our Own Guest Speaker: Gerald Johnson, Author & Owner, Johnson's Journal Publishing

The event finale on Saturday, June 18th, will be a very special panel discussion on Self-Publishing or Self-Segregation. It will stream exclusively on our YouTube channel!

You don't want to miss one day of this week-long event! It's going to be amazing! Be sure to share this event with everyone you know!
