This blank journal is based on the book Writing While Female or Black or Gay: Diverse Voices in Publishing. In the book, the empowerment of Roxane Gay, the sensibilities of Zadie Smith, and the strength of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie come together in a provocative and polarizing--yet often deadly funny--look behind the scenes of the publishing industry. By all appearances, publishing is open to all. But for female authors and authors of color and LGBT authors, and for authors who write about underrepresented characters, entry is all but barred. In Writing While Female or Black or Gay, a publishing professional with twenty years of experience considers how the books women write are treated differently, how authors of color are not allowed to write what is dear to their hearts, and how LGBT authors are ghettoized. And then all of us, authors and publishers and readers and reviewers, are invited to fix the problems. Record your own thoughts and write your own stories in the Writing While Female or Black or Gay journal.

Portugal has a long and varied history. In 711 CE, the nation was firmly established. Portugal is perhaps best known for being the first truly global empire. Its maritime exploration during the early part of the Age of Discovery, the 15th and 16th centuries, provided an influx of wealth through the spice trade. During the Joanine era, gold, wheat, copperware, cloths, tools, wine, and horses were all traded. Today Portugal is a striking place for tourism with unique architecture, a sunny climate, and Mediterranean culture. The cuisine is renowned, and fresh seafood spiced with chili and black peppers, saffron and olive oil can be found at inexpensive restaurants. Wander through this astonishing place with the forty color photos in Panoramas of Portugal.
Achieving true wholesome sustainability requires a change of heart. Hence this book starts in the heart.
