We're here to talk about Black, Bookish, and Writerish things!

Hosted by C. M. Lockhart (Chelsea) of Written in Melanin & the Melanin Library, along with Audra Russell of Between the Reads Podcast (@BetweentheReads ) the Melanin Chat is the place where Black authors come together to discuss the craft of writing, share new and new to y'all books, and discuss every aspect of the publishing industry from indie to traditional. We are here for the tea, the laughs, and the books!

This Melanin Chat is in partnership with Between the Reads Podcast — so check it out!

You can always find books by Black authors at MelaninLibrary.com ✌🏾

**Fair warning: we talk like grown folks.**

This is recorded in front of a live virtual audience — so don't be afraid to jump in and join the Melanin Chat!
