I loved everything about Sylvie's Love on @PrimeVideo: the 50s Harlem setting, the music scene, the love story. It's made me eager to find more historical romance/women's fiction featuring BIPOC characters. #MSWL

PLEASE read this thread. Every publishing professional I know *needs* to read this thread. 👇🏼 twitter.com/laviecestmoi/s…Also, if you are a BIPOC creator and you see yourself & your stories in this thread (heck, I know I do): I WANT THEM. I will always want them. And I will fight for them. #MSWL

I am also still on the hunt for a The Mummy/Indiana Jones-esque story written by a BIPOC that tackles colonization. I love artifact finding stories, but we need to talk about the problems #MSWL

Agents, under the BIPOC romance umbrella, I would love to see different pairings of interracial/interethnic love, same race relationships, body positivity, characters of every sexuality and gender, & teens with disabilities and disorders. Love between any two humans is beautiful.I want to read these books! #MSWL

SO EXCITED to announce that I'm now open to queries at @EmeraldCityLit & will represent #YA and #MG fiction projects alongside agents @MandyHubbard and @LindaEpstein. I'm so grateful to them both for being such incredible mentors. #amquerying submit here:QueryManager.com/caitlinwhite
I am ALWAYS seeking #OwnVoices stories by BIPOC and LGBTQ+ authors, non-western settings, and strong voices.

I think 2020 had more disabled Own Voices than any previous year. The creators are predominantly white— kids need to see themselves at the intersections. Here are some I read & liked. I didn’t do a lot of YA. Fill in the gaps & share your favs. (Skip my bk; it has enough love.) pic.twitter.com/YatGeNSX5XLove to see more books featuring disabled #ownvoices. (Hint: I'm looking for this, especially BIPOC creators. #MSWL)
