the #PublishingPaidMe hashtag IS NOT about telling publishers/your agents "X got this advance so make sure I get that."
It's about asking publishers "WHY DO BLACK AUTHORS NOT GET THESE ADVANCES?"

Here @VanWritersFest we are doing extra HOORAHs because the CBC Short Story Prize winner, Brenda Damen, is the mom of our very own Operations Manager, Chelsee Damen.
This was the first time Brenda ever submitted her writing for a contest, which is pretty inspiring!
You can read the @CBC Short Story Prize-winning story here: cbc.ca/books/literaryprizes/…

Check out this great podcast episode from our friend @hkpmcgregor of Secret Feminist Agenda (featuring @razorfemme)
They talk about creative ways to sustain communities in midst of crisis... which seems quite important right now:

Every moment from here on, going all in fighting #COVID19 will save lives ... our own lives and those of the ones we love. It's just that simple. If you are sick or are returning from out of country, you must self-isolate. canada.ca/en/public-health/s…

Shoutout to the market operators @granville_isle who are staying open as an essential service during this crisis and who have dedicated 9:00am-10:00am to shopping for seniors only.
It’s nice and quiet down here and full of healthy, abundant food to bring home. Free parking too!
