How the WordPress Blog Subscription Works

I’ve seen an increase in people who follow this blog outside of the blogosphere (*Waves!*) which basically means they aren’t active on blogs.

Newsletter, Blog, or Both?

Authors, check out these articles. I totally agree with having both a blog and an email newsletter. Further, I think an email newsletter will outdate Facebook, Twitter, and also your blog!

Sounds good to have your book pushed to 55,000, but depending on the number of authors whose books are promoted in that same list, your book may… Continue reading

Before The Week Ends: Quality Connections

And although I should really be cleaning right now, I’d like to share something before we dig in for the weekend. Something that is on my… Continue reading

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.
