“For me, Megaphone has been a wonderful safe haven, both friendly and informative…The publishing world is daunting, and having a constant where you can discuss topics with others, ask questions and get answers is invaluable. Megaphone is a wonderful community for writers of colour at all stages of their careers.”

This is such a supportive community, run by two inspirational women of colour…I’m always excited for the amazing Open Door and In Conversation sessions, they are extremely fruitful and I always leave with a sense of optimism and dedication to get my stories out into the world and provide mirrors for underrepresented children…Megaphone are doing an extremely important job by helping writers from diverse background and equipping us with the tools we need to succeed in this industry.. “
