Freelance writer Robin Farmer is set to release her first book, “Angel Dressed in Black,” in 2021 after winning a nationwide indie publishing contest.
The Hanover County resident was one of two women whose manuscripts were selected by She Writes Press and SparkPress for a free publishing package typically priced at $7,500 that will include a 500-book run and more.
The contest, started in 2018, is part of an effort to bring more diversity to the literary world, according to contest organizers.
