Extra, Extra...Read All About It

....otherwise known as "the regularly updated blog."

So...what do you know.  My first real press and it has nothing to do with my books!

The Underappreciated Series

I'm actually disappointed that "underappreciated" is a real word.  Like "underprivileged", it's a passive term.  It implies that people are underappreciated..."just 'cause", and not because someone deliberately hinders their progress.  What's worse, just as "overprivileged" isn't in the dictionary, "overappreciated" isn't either.

Begun completely on a whim, the Underappreciated Series covers Actresses, Actors of Another Color, and Musicians of Color.  My goal is to provide each one with free coverage.  For those who are relatively unknown and/or up and coming, I hope to help them expand their fanbase.

At the Bar (Interviews by Moi)

My goal is help artists of color link with one another and expand their fan bases. I believe all online writers of color should provide our struggling artists with our support by providing as much free promotion as possible. So I run features about many actors, comedians, and musicians whom most people haven’t heard of, and then try to interview them, so as to advertise on their behalf.

Interested in Being Interviewed?
Feel free to contact me!  Here's my process:

We agree to the interview and I send you multiple questions.  Depending upon your responses, I may ask follow-up questions.  I also request a press photo to go with the post.

*Note* I am now setting a two-week limit.  That means, from the moment of initial contact, I require responses within two weeks, otherwise I'll assume artists are not interested.  Believe or not, I have a schedule of sorts, and professional requirements I need to meet.

When the interview is completed and published, I immediately provide artists with a link for their websites.
