Presented by James Coats

Featuring: Nikia Chaney (Jamii Publishing), Eric DeVaughnn (innateDIVINITYbooks), Camari Hawkins (Mama’s Kitchen Press), and Hiram Sims (World Stage Press)

Poet and educator James Coats presents a conversation with four dynamic small press founders, Nikia Chaney (Jamii Publishing), Eric DeVaughnn (innateDIVINITYbooks), Camari Hawkins (Mama’s Kitchen Press), and Hiram Sims (World Stage Press). Find inspiration in their stories, learn how they founded their presses, and discover the impact they are making in their community through the literary arts. Their experiences, challenges, and successes will shine a light on what it takes to serve an often-underrepresented community.

Also, uncover the mysteries of what publishers look for when selecting authors to publish. Find ways to stand out from the crowd – and even how to create your own press to help share the voices of those in your own community.
