SFF with BIPOC, LGBTQ+ characters #MSWL

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

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

First Lady Kim Kardashian-West @JackHarbon

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

Emily Settle ☕️ 📚 @EmiCalico

#MSWL YA or MG PoC Lara Croft / Indiana Jones type character (any gender!) that steals artifacts in order to return them to their cultures of origin 😌

I really love this idea! #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

“I want an lgbt character who is also a POC who is open but isn’t defined by either one of those traits and is still a well-written, three dimensional character”

@LisaAbellera How do you feel about Leverage in space? Are spaceships a hard pass?

Replying to @LianaBrooks

Leverage in space! Absolutely send it my way-especially if it has POC/diverse/LGBTQ+ characters! #mswl

Modern, PoC version of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn-can be set elsewhere in US but w/same sense of place & characters w/deep inner lives. #MSWL

STEM-focused middle grade or YA, strong female MCs-bonus points for diverse, POC #MSWL
