DDW - S2 Ep 08 – When Money Gets Between Your Writing and Hiring Professionals
Wednesday Mar 09, 2022
Wednesday Mar 09, 2022
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
