Beatrice Iker

Beatrice Iker - Black, poet, and Rootworker, I am a native of East Tennessee who now resides in New England with my husband, dog, and two cats. I am a co-host on the podcast Afronauts Podcast with other Black speculative fiction authors.

I participated in the Ancestral Futures Mentorship program for BIPOC authors in the spring and summer of 2021.

My work will appear in the upcoming DEATH IN THE MOUTH horror anthology written by BIPOC authors.

Age Category: Adult

Expertise: I love discussing craft! My favorite topics are voice, pacing, and dialogue. I would also enjoy talking about submitting to literary magazines and journals. Finding and maintaining writerly friends and/or betas/CPs is so important and I want to help others succeed in this area as well.
