A Valentine’s Day #MSWL: grand, complex, diverse, epic science fiction and fantasy—with a fraught central romance that has lasting consequences for the world.

Is it still #MSWL day?
Someone send me an adult SFF novel centering a messy, diverse found family who have to overthrow the empire, or uncover a plot, or fight off invaders—but at the end of the day, you know they’re doing it to save each other as much as to “save the world.”

Friendly reminder to publishing:
Not every diverse BOOK in the next 3 yrs can be "Black Panther meets XYZ."

#MSWL: colonization/decolonization from unexpected perspectives. Show me that assimilation & oppression aren't inevitable, & can be overcome#MSWL: Diversity in all forms, always. Diversity of people, setting, culture, morality. Diversity as a feature—not a bug. Challenge me. #SFF
