DDW - S2 Ep 08 – When Money Gets Between Your Writing and Hiring Professionals
In this episode of Doing Diversity in Writing, we—Bethany and Mariëlle—take a pause to talk about what to do when hiring professionals to better your writing is not an option (yet).
What we talked about
That there’s privilege in being able to advice others to do it right or not do it at all
That not everyone has the same resources going into publishing their work
What options are out there for authors with limited or no budgets
