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).
Listen to it here on Podbean or find us on your favourite podcast app.
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
