To celebrate She Writes' 1-year anniversary, an amazing group of women has agreed to talk with us on a wide range of subjects each day this week from 1PM to 2PM EST. Join us if you can! Kamy's hosting. The shows will be recorded and archived, so you can listen to them any time after the fact. (Listen to yesterday's below!)

To call in, dial 347-884-9779, or listen on the She Writes Blog Talk Radio player.

MONDAY, JUNE 28TH:
"WHITE READERS, MEET BLACK AUTHORS": How Women of Color are Read, Received and Reviewed, with Carleen Brice.

Inspired by the African-American sections in some bookstores, Carleen Brice created the tongue-in-cheek video "White Readers, Meet Black Authors." Her touch is light, but the subject is weighty: women of color often struggle to have their work given serious critical attention and to be treated simply as authors, rather than authors of color. Carleen Brice is author of the novels "Orange Mint and Honey" and "Children of the Waters," which One World/Ballantine released in June 2009. Her book "Walk Tall: Affirmations for People of Color" sold over 100,000 copies and was in print with traditional publishers for 10 years.


TODAY! TUESDAY, JUNE 29TH:
WRITING TO CHANGE THE WORLD: A conversation with Laura Ling, Areva Martin, and Kris Carr.

Do you write to change the world? For these three authors and activists, the answer is unequivocally yes. At 1PM EST on She Writes radio, call 347-884-9779 to join Kamy in discussion with the journalist Laura Ling, who is the author, with her sister Lisa Ling, of "Somewhere Inside," about her captivity in North Korea and her sister's efforts to secure her release; Areva Martin, lawyer and author of "Everyday Advocate: How to Stand Up for Your Autistic Child;" and Kris Carr, maker of the documentary "Crazy Sexy Cancer," and author of two related books.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 30TH:
FUNNY WOMEN: Women and Humor Writing, with Regina Barreca, Mishna Wolff, and Erin Hosier.

Are women funny? These women are ample proof in the affirmative. From 1PM to 2PM EST, call 347-884-9779, to join Regina Barreca, author, most recently, of of "I'm Not That Bitter," Mishna Wolff, author of "I'm Down," and Erin Hosier, literary agent to many very funny women writers, in discussion with Kamy Wicoff on She Writes.

THURSDAY, JULY 1ST:
WHAT DO PUBLISHERS WANT? Ask Barbara Jones, Editorial Director of Hyperion Books and Voice, and Dawn Davis, Editorial Director of Amistad.

What Do Publishers Want? Like the silly and reductive question, "What Do Women Want?" (Mel Gibson movie being silly and reductive, too), this is a question that has as many answers are there are publishers. But that doesn't stop writers and agents from asking it, and hoping to get an answer. From 1PM to 2PM EST, call 347-884-9779 to talk with two of publishing's most talented and visionary women, Barbara Jones, Editorial Director of Hyperion Books and Voice, and Dawn Davis, VP and Editorial Director of Amistad, an imprint at Harper Collins, who will do their best to explain what they want, or at least what they look for, when searching for books to publish.

FRIDAY, JULY 2ND:
READING LIKE A WRITER: A conversation with Francine Prose.

Francine Prose is one of our most important novelists and critics, the author of many bestselling books of fiction, including A Changed Man and Blue Angel, which was a finalist for the National Book Award, and the nonfiction New York Times bestseller Reading Like a Writer. From 1PM to 2PM EST, call 347-884-9779 to join Kamy and Francine in a discussion about the importance of reading like a writer: how to read, what to read, and why. (And to see Kamy interview Francine last fall about her book Anne Frank: The Book, The Life, The Afterlife, watch the video on She Writes.)
