    Good Writing Advice Acknowledges That Everyone Is Different

    Originally posted on Meg Dowell Writes: I’m tired of reading bad writing advice. I’ve always hated it. It’s one of the reasons I started Novelty Revisions.

About Me

My name is Yecheilyah (e-see-li-yah), and my work confronts historical erasure and advocates for a more inclusive understanding of Black history. Through my literature and poetry, I uncover and preserve the rich, often underrepresented stories of African Americans. I also host an annual poetry contest.
