A mentor of-sorts!
Hi everyone,
Due to recent events, I’m looking for any POC writers who have experience pitching ideas & dealing with editors. I personally do not know any on a basis that I can talk to them and ask for advice & support.
This is me putting this out in to the universe. I would love a little help and support. If you’re out there, give this hermanita a hand!
Much love,
N.H.
