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 ππΌππ
I will read your Black witches/ shapeshifter/ vampire/ demon slayer manuscripts TOMORROW.
