My name is Lori L. Tharps and I am the creator, producer and host of the award-winning, Reed, Write and Create podcast. On the podcast, I give bite-sized pep talks to BIPoC writers who want to get their stories out of their heads and into the world. I also share the inspiring stories of our literary ancestors, and I bring bestselling, BIPoC authors on the show, to share their tips and tricks for literary success.
When I'm not hosting and producing the podcast, I stay busy writing and running the Reed, Write, & Create Sanctuary, a private community for BIPoC women writers who take their writing seriously. I consider myself a literary activist and a storytelling evangelist because I believe storytelling will save the world.
Thank you in advance for your support because the work I do is mission driven and much of it is unpaid labor. But it is my calling and my life's work. Every time someone "buys me a book," reminds me that there are other people in the world who believe in the work I'm doing and the power of the written word.
Write on! and Thank you!

Being accepted into the Sanctuary at the top of this year & following your modeling of a literary lifestyle has helped breathe life into my own expanding literary journey. You are one of the primary reasons I feel so good about my writing & reading future. I’m deeply appreciative! I wish you so much joy & laughter, & many blessings in 2025. You deserve all the good things coming to you!
