Dre Hill, modern day renaissance man? On social media, I introduce myself as an artist, storyteller, and writer. It’s deliberate. Sure, part of it is to establish and differentiate me and my brand, hopefully to help it stick out in your mind. But, also, because I genuinely am those things.

Now Playing: Once Upon a Write

As an indie author, having spaces and platforms that can catapult your work to a new audience is so incredibly important. We never know where our next reader is or how they’ll find us.

Award Winning Poet, Dre Hill

Yes, I’ll add that to my portfolio. The Indieverse Awards were started in 2024 by Kristina Carmela. Carmela noticed the unfortunate lack of accessibility in major book awards.
