In this episode of the Thriving Authors Podcast, I'm thrilled to be joined by MJ Fievre, a woman who wears so many hats in the writing world! She's an editor, a publisher, a coordinator for the Miami Book Fair, and an author of multiple genres! She shares when she first fell in love with writing as well as her writing journey and in our conversation she also dives into: The specific things that all publishers want to see. What to do even before you start reaching out to publishers. Why you don't have to wait until you have a book out to start your writing career – and what you can do in the meantime. The benefit of having a writing community. The role authenticity plays when connecting with acquisition editors. After listening I think you'll feel empowered to begin building your audience and brave enough to lean into your authenticity. About MJ: Born in the vibrant city of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, M.J. Fievre moved to the United States in 2002, carrying with her an unquenchable thirst for storytelling. She's the brain and the heart behind the best-selling series Badass Black Girl, empowering many to embrace their identities fearlessly. As a writing coach, she helps others write their way through trauma, build community and create social change. She works with veterans, disenfranchised youth, cancer patients and survivors, victims of domestic and sexual violence, minorities, the elderly, those with chronic illness or going through transition, and any underserved population in need of writing as a form of therapy—even if they don't realize that they need writing or therapy. M.J. can also be found shaping narratives at Mango Publishing, where she is a senior editor, and fostering the literary culture in her role as a program coordinator for the Miami Book Fair.If you need a plan and someone (me!) to guide you to unlock your AUTHORity, take the first step towards becoming a published author and register for Your Book Roadmap today.

In To Tell a Black Story of Miami (UP of Florida, 2022), Tatiana McInnis examines literary and cultural representations of Miami alongside the city's material realities to challenge the image of South Florida as a diverse cosmopolitan paradise. McInnis discusses how this favorable "melting pot" narrative depends on the obfuscation of racialized violence against people of African descent. Analyzing novels, short stories, and memoirs by Edwidge Danticat, M.J. Fievre, Carlos Moore, Carlos Eire, Patricia Stephens Due, and Tananarive Due, as well as films such as Dawg Fight and Moonlight, McInnis demonstrates how these creations push back against erasure by representing the experiences of Black Americans and immigrants from Caribbean nations. McInnis considers portrayals of state-sanctioned oppression, residential segregation, violent detention of emigres, and increasing wealth gaps and concludes that celebrations of Miami's diversity disguise the pervasive, adaptive nature of white supremacy and anti-Blackness. To Tell a Black Story of Miami offers a model of how to use literature as a primary archive in urban studies. It draws attention to the similarities and divergences between Miami's Black diasporic communities, a historically underrepresented demographic in popular and scholarly awareness of the city. Increasing understanding of Miami's political, social, and economic inequities, this book brings greater nuance to traditional narratives of exceptionalism in cities and regions. Publication of this work made possible by a Sustaining the Humanities through the American Rescue Plan grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Learn more about your ad choices.

Fievre published her first book as a teenager, and she credited her aunt, a grammar and literature teacher, for introducing her to the understanding and importance of editing. “She could look at my manuscript and see what it lacked on the grammar side. Also, she could help me with the developmental.” Fievre quickly realized writing and editing were two essential but different crafts. Her advice to novice writers is to not worry about editing a piece while working on it. Take care of mistakes later.Growing up in Haiti, Fievre said many elements get portrayed in the media which are true. There is crime and poverty in Haiti, but the flip side of the coin is the beauty that the rest of the world does not always get to learn. “For me, the most beautiful aspect of Haiti is her people,” Fievre said. “When I visit the country, and I'm amongst my people, I feel different. There is this openness. People will tell you what they think.”Fievre's journey does include challenges which She uses to shape her writing. Fievre said learning to be resourceful was a trait anyone who lives in Haiti develops when commonplace amenities such as electricity and transportation are not consistently available. Reading gave Fievre comfort as a child and allowed her to learn about other places in the world she wanted to go and stories she wanted to tell.Fievre believes writing about one's experiences is a great way to deal with trauma for any child who wants to be a writer and who may live in challenging environments and situations. “There is salvation in storytelling, discovering who other people are throughout the world, and discovering who you could be.”

"If you are wearing shoes that are comfortable you don't have to think about them you can go about your day. If you wear a pair of shoes that hurt all the time then everything you do is filtered by pain. For people of color, this is how racism pervades everything. It's a never-ending consciousness of your blackness," says author and educator M.J. Fievre. Becoming aware and getting educated about the systems and microaggressions that marginalize and oppress people of color can help us take the actions we need to end racism and elevate us all. We must do this if we truly want all people to live well, do good, be happy. M.J. Fievre: https://mjfievre.com/ Instagram: @Badassblackgirlbooks Learn more about your ad choices.

BTR News w/ Scotty Reid welcomes author, social media creator, and self-care advocate M.J. Fievre about her recent book series "Badass Black Girl". Fievre has been writing since she was 19 years old when she first signed a publishing contract and her writings are known throughout Europe and the French Antilles after nine books she wrote in French were published. In addition to discussing her latest book series focused on Black women, hopefully, we can get her opinion on reporting and opinions coming out for and against world number two tennis pro Naomi Osaka's decision to withdraw from one tennis major and skip another citing self-care reasons. Nomia Oska's father was born in Haiti and like Richard Williams, father of the tennis greats Williams sisters, Serena and Venus, Leonard François taught Naomi and her sister Mari Osaka to play tennis at an early age to prepare them for success in the world of professional tennis, a white-dominated field in terms of the industry hierarchy and ownership. While Serena and Venus have been trailblazers for Black women in professional tennis, some have also said Naomi Osaka is a trailblazer in mental self-care to deal with the media circus that often can be challenging and taxing for Black professional athletes across sports.
