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.

Get Ready for Something New! On Season 5 We're Going Behind the Book
Welcome to Season 5 of the Podcast! On this brief episode, Loril will provide a quick recap about her time living in a library in Ghana, followed by a sneak peek into what we have planned for this special season of the podcast.
For Season 5, we’re going Behind the Book, bringing you interviews and stories about people who depend on the free circulation of books in the world. From librarians, to agents, to activists and entrepreneurs, this season we're pulling back the curtain on the people who keep the book business flowing and growing.
To learn more about the Library of African and the African Diaspora, visit their website.
If you want to read more about Lori’s experience in Ghana, read this blog post about her experience.
