"Hi Kathryn, my advice to all aspiring writers is to join, if possible, a writing group so that there can be a more objective group look at your work than you yourself can give it. Then you need to start submitting stories to literary publications.…"

I'm sorry to stalk her, but I hoped she would appreciate a pat on the back. Being a writer can be so demoralizing sometimes - having been a lawyer for years, it has been difficult to work so hard for such a long period of time without validation (or perhaps that's just my ego talking). I connected to Ernessa's book, because, though you find strong, smart characters in historical fiction and more somber plotlines, I have had a harder time finding similarly smart, engaging and non-stereotypical voices in humorous or romantic stories featuring African Americans. My own work is similar in genre - when I started it 6 or so years ago, I set aside a darker story that I was attempting to write because I felt a void in what I was reading and had another story idea that I hoped would begin to fill it. I'm really looking forward to Ernessa's future projects.

Kathryn Brackett said… - Dawn, thank you for your response. I'm currently in two writing groups and I've been submitting my stories to literary magazines for ten years now. It's been a long haul. I've published one story that was chosen by C. Michael Curtis from the Atlantic. I've come very close several times to publishing other pieces from my collection. I guess my main question is, how willing are agents and editors to publish a manuscript that doesn't have a firm publishing platform? It's not like I'm not trying to get my voice heard. I'm just not sure what else to do.
