So, I dropped a new video today: youtu.be/cBw3s9fsjXo And I want my author friends to hear this piece of advice: your book is not your brand. I talked about what needs to be done to establish yourself as an author in this video, but build an audience that's a fan of the author, not just one book ✌🏾

I had the chance to interview Tati Richardson @richardwriteson.bsky.social about her latest book LOSING SIGHT. It was an incredible conversation and I highly recommend giving it a listen. Available on YouTube & everywhere you get podcasts from ✌🏾 youtu.be/Ip1Z7ZqfC-k - #BlackSky #BVM #BlackBookSky
