If you are a Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian American, or any other Writer of Color, and you’re looking for your own personal writing coach - to help you write that book; get published; and promote your work - then this is the podcast for you.
Award-winning author, educator, and creative writing coach, Lori L. Tharps ( ”Hair Story,” ”Kinky Gazpacho,” and ”Substitute Me”) knows how hard it is to stay committed to your writing projects - whether you’re working on that debut novel, a gut-wrenching memoir, or an essay about your trip around the world. Writing can be your passion, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. And let’s not forget about the path to getting published and the non-stop journey of promotion. It’s a lot! Especially for BIPoC writers in a publishing industry that is still overwhelmingly centered on whiteness.
On the podcast, Lori is here to serve as your creative-writing coach, and her goal is to help you love your literary life by giving you the tools and motivation to write, publish, and promote your work with purpose and joy. You’ll get inspiring pep talks and literary life lessons based on the lives of our BIPoC literary ancestors. Think Toni Morrison, Sor Juana de la Cruz, Phillis Wheatley e.t.c.
You’ll also hear inspiring interviews with contemporary, best-selling, BIPoC authors who share actionable writing tips and advice to help improve your craft, and better understand the business of writing and the publishing industry.
New episodes of Your BIPoC Writing Coach are released on Mondays.

The Three Stages of Book Marketing with Jenn de Paula
On episode 69, which is our final guest interview for the Your Famous Author Era season, my guest is Jen dePaula, a veteran in the book marketing space who is going to share her tips and strategies for long-term book marketing success that does not require selling your soul to the social media algorithms.
Jenn is a marketing and social media expert who has been working with authors, musicians, and other creatives for over 24 years. She’s worked with every type of author - from New York Times best selling authors to self-publishing authors starting from scratch. Her zone of genius is helping overwhelmed fiction and nonfiction authors clearly and confidently market their books.
During our conversation, Jenn and I talk about:
When an author should start their book marketing plan.
The three different phases of book marketing every author should know.
How social media should be incorporated into your book marketing plans, and why it absolutely should NOT be the main component of your marketing efforts.
How to hook your reader with emotional triggers.
The three things every author should have to successfully market their book.
