Katie Zhao 💛 THE FALLEN HERO out 10/13 ✨ @ktzhaoauthor

One thing I'd love to see publishing do is buy more quiet stories by marginalized creators. Whenever I pitch a new project, I feel like I have to use ‼️BIG FLASHY COMPS‼️

Marginalized authors deserve to tell quiet stories, too. Happy stories. Stories where we can just...exist.

Sometimes the quiet stories can be more powerful than the flashy ones. Contemporary, historical, upmarket, literary, or women's fiction by BIPOC, LGBTQ+ authors #MSWL

SelineSigil @SelineSigil9

Studies into healing revealed that full moon amplified the electrical charge in living cells. A sensitive voltmeter,attached to a tree picked up a faint electrical force. However, at the time of the full moon, this force soared upward on the scale. equinoxastrology.com/LunarLore.htm pic.twitter.com/70e4zE9bWr

Now what if that charge was magic or a different kind of energy? Young adult or adult #SFF with BIPOC, LGBTQ+ characters #MSWL

Michi the Adorable Tiny Demon @🏡🔥🍜📖🦄 @GeekMelange

For the longest time I did not know just how many Filipino/a/x were writing SFF *bc the callous disregard & apathy of white fandom was erasing us.* That’s a huge reason why I grit my teeth & fight like hell for me & others to be visible & recognized in these spaces. twitter.com/BenCKinney/sta…

Same here. I'd love to see these stories. #ownvoices #SFF #MSWL

The world needs more queer gothic horror-romances about decade-long family secrets and forbidden love and murder, lies, and passion.

Yes please, especially with BIPOC characters #OWN #MSWL

National Air and Space Museum @airandspace

On this day in 1921, Bessie Coleman became the first African American woman to earn a pilot's license. As a Black woman, she was denied entry to flying schools in the United States, so she moved to France to earn her license from the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale. pic.twitter.com/ZRAEwBZzHX

Teen Librarian Toolbox Dyslexia Awareness Month @TLT16

We need more standalone YA that is short and engaging. Some teens love the long, speculative fiction trilogies that seem to dominate the market, & I’m here for that. But many teens are over programmed and/or find reading challenging. If we want teens to read, we need more 4 them.

Yes, please. #mswl

Shannon/S.A. Chakraborty @SAChakrabooks

Please....if a POC #ownvoices author even writes a Mission Impossible-esqe heist novel involving people breaking into the British Museum to recover their stolen treasure, I will help you write a query letter and blurb your book and push it into people's hands.

I’d absolutely love to get this! #mswl

The djinn/jinn are the most famous beings of the Middle East and Islam, but Middle Eastern folklore is full of fantastic creatures. Some of them are terrifying and others benevolent.
