Writing A Book Is HORD! (ft. Donovan X. Ramsey)

In this week’s episode, hosts Tre’vell Anderson and jarrett hill bring you a little something different: an extended discussion on the pros and cons of authoring a book. Our hosts discuss how challenging the writing process really is with FANTI veteran and author of When Crack Was King, Donovan X. Ramsey. The writers get into the nitty gritty of writing a book, covering everything from the brainstorming stage, finding motivation to write consistently, and fighting tooth and nail over book cover art. Then later, Emmy winning director, Nneka Onuorah’s latest documentary, Truth Be Told, and more highlights in our DisHonorable Mentions. Mentioned In This EpisodeWhen Crack Was KingHistorically Black PhrasesWe See Each Other: A Black Trans Journey Through TV and Film We See Each Other: The Podcast DIS/Honorable Mentions JhHM: Deeply Madly Modern YouTube channel HM: Truth Be Told - Nneka Onuorah’s latest, premiering at Outfest July 20thHM: The new (ish) social media app, Spill TAHM: Stealth: A Transmasculine PodcastOur Sponsors This WeekBrooklinenBrooklinen makes shifting seasons something to look forward to.
