Trust Black Women and Paid Them Damnit @CreatyveBooks
Dear YA,Stop saying certain genres are dead. I'm still waiting for my Black Witches. My Black shapeshifters, vampires, fairies, demon slayers. Hell I'm still waiting for my Black Love story. Also fluffy carefree fat girls.
There's a demand so make it happen
#MSWL ALL OF THIS 🙌🏼💜📚
I will read your Black witches/ shapeshifter/ vampire/ demon slayer manuscripts TOMORROW.

Would love to find a YA in the vein of WGN’s Underground—but only if this is your story to tell. No white saviors. No master/slaves. #MSWLA contemporary YA mystery or romance set at a Renaissance Fair or in a SCA guild. #MSWL

Historical retellings or AU history. Biblical retellings. Maybe a gender-swapped Alexandra the Great or a YA Esther. #MSWLWould love to find a YA in the vein of WGN’s Underground—but only if this is your story to tell. No white saviors. No master/slaves. #MSWL
