I lied. I am a SUCKER for a whirlwind YA love story/romcom. I am a hopeful romantic, I’m sorry. Please make my heart melt.😊

Stories that hold the most value in its message and redefines the typical HEA and illuminates how it differs from person to person.

But, I love some angst and themes of identity, grief, family/multigenerational dynamics, displacement, self-love, etc.
NOOOOO BLACK TRAUMA, unless it has a powerful message on Joy being a tool for RESILIENCE!

I am looking for stories from Black creators and from marginalized communities.
Bring on the MG fantasy, sci-fi, contemporary, and/or coming-of-age stories centered around black characters, experiences, and BLACK JOY!
