Hello Episodians!
I’m Bernice J (instagram.com/jbernice.episode)) and I’m a black author.
It’s that time of the year again! … Black History Month!
A big thumbs up to @Episode for recognizing black authors and for creating a special shelf for us.
It’s a great opportunity to get to know the black authors in this wonderful community and the amazing, diverse stories they write. It’s also a lucky chance for newer authors to get featured and get the recognition they truly deserve.
Anyways, this post is all about getting a chance to know my fellow black authors and to also promote our stories so that they stand a chance of making it onto the shelf.
Feel free to share your thoughts on this issue. You don’t necessarily need to follow the format I’ve created - all that’s important is your episode profile name, instagram name, where you’re from, and the title of the story you’d like to promote. Don’t forget to nominate your favorite black authors (including myself haha ) on the @episodecreators Instagram post. Link below. I wish y’all the best! https://www.instagram.com/p/B607rP7pUY7/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Hopefully the qualifications are a bit stricter unless there is a lot of space on that shelf.
It should be books by black authors and the story should have characters that are black as one of the main components.
This doesn’t necessarily have to be the MC, LI, BF but character/s that have a good amount of focus on them. (Automatically making them connect to the plot anyway.)
This post is just to the responses from last black history self. It should be vice versa as well.
