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

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
