In 2022 normalize BIPOC authors writing what we want. Let us write weird stories. Soft stories. Gritty stories. Funny ones.Let us write from our infinite, individual diversities without being told what we write is “too much” or “not enough” of who we are.

#MSWL for trans voices in speculative #A or #YA that comps @ryka_aoki's The Light from Uncommon Stars. I'm blown away not just by the voice, but by the originality of the story, the heart, the narrative scope. It's breathtaking. We need more trans joy in SFF. Send them my way.

One #MSWL item I really hope someone picks up on is a Black version of UTOPIA AVENUE feat. Magical Realism in Motown or the golden age of Rap. MR/Fabulist or Contemporary Fantasy stories based in historical music scenes like UTOPIA AVENUE shouldn't be limited to white writers.

oh goshi get emails from readers sometimes and lately it's been readers who have gained strength from Soulstar because of Zelind being nonbinary with specific nonbinary pronouns and not a single person in the book bats an eyelash
thank you. I wrote it because I needed it too
#MSWL for more books that do this. Within the genres I rep, of course. More positive non-binary rep please. 🙏

Or anything that comps #TheNevers @hbomax @hbo "Victorian women find themselves with unusual abilities, relentless enemies and a mission that may change the world."

I sort of just realized that, at least for now, I’m not looking for anything pirate or mermaid or Atlantis related. Basically, if it’s in the sea, it’s not for me. Unless it’s Snowpiercer on a boat.
This is a friendly anti-#MSWL post.
