Written in Melanin Podcast Trailer

Hello and welcome to everyone listening to the Written in Melanin Podcast, the place where you come to get your weekly dose of melanated creativity. I am your host C. M. Lockhart, an author of fantasy books featuring Black girls who aren't all that nice and the owner of the Melanin Library, an online database of books written by Black authors. And in this space, I offer you full transparency on my journey as a Black and indie author. I'm glad you're here.

Now, let's answer the big question right now: why should you listen to this podcast?

The only reason I can give for that is because it's real. Everything I share on this podcast is a genuine part of my journey as an author and as a human being. From my anxieties and apprehensions about promoting my book and creative content to my excitement about finishing my latest drafts and getting feedback from my beta readers to my hurt and disappointment at losing people who I thought were my genuine friends. It's all real.

And you should listen because, if you clicked on this podcast to begin with, you're probably an author too. Or a creative. Or just someone who can relate to the struggle of being your authentic self on the internet when only showing your best angles is the status quo. And, sometimes, its important to know that you're not alone. That your journey is valid. That there are other people facing the same obstacles as you. And maybe, just maybe, my journey can help you along on yours.

I am a Black indie author. I write fantasy books about Black girls who aren't all that nice. I am a YouTuber and small business owner who is building everything I have from scratch. I have been told the odds are not in my favor, but they never have been so that's not going to stop me. I'm going to conquer every goal I set for myself and I hope you choose to come on this journey with me.

But that's all I can really tell you about why you should listen to this podcast. So, thank you for listening. And, until next time, may all your books be full of melanin.
