Shameka The Writer

Raw & Written is about my journey as a writer, plus book recommendations. I depict complex Black FMCs in a world that loves to tell us how to exist. My stories are rooted in mental illness and mental health.

A twice monthly, sometimes more, newsletter highlighting writing from Black writers and writers of color, as well as book recommendations, writing opportunities, and general insight on writing and craft.

Narratives on Black Romance Across Pages and Screens.

A corner of the internet reserved for writing updates, exclusive sneak peeks and announcements, and random yapping from an indie romance author

Just a place for me to release all my thoughts about life and books and other random things.

This is my Bookish Substack-more laid back than my website, more structured than my social media. I write romantic and women's fiction novels that center Black characters. If you like snark and steamy romance...HELLO!

Musings on writing, life, and culture.
