Having your characters take off their shoes in the house, aka de-colonizing your writing: a thread 1/

such a simple thought leading to such a profound truth about the tendency to write subconsciously for the white gaze—we need to shake it off to write our own truths and that includes making space for ourselves by subverting narrative tropes that don't include us. #mswl

This is the RomCom book I’ve been dying for and it’s already a movie! Look at that diverse cast! Check out the awkward meet-cute & pop culture references turned into verbs! #MSWL

✨Beyoncé 💛☭✨ @UniversalyBlack

You know sometimes I just wanna see black people as fairies and mermaids. Sometimes I don’t wanna see a black movie or tv show about the black struggle. Sometimes I wanna see black people doing cool shit and living life as space pirates or whateva

I am still actively looking for new clients. Women’s fiction is on my #MSWL. I’d love to find some beach reads and romance that crosses over into the women’s fiction realm. I’m also hungry for more nonfiction—especially narrative and/or those with a culinary bent.

There's *so* much history we can take advantage of for YA. Victims of colonization going after the British Empire??? Like, subvert the colonial English genre! Imagine The Little Princess or The Jungle Book but instead of quaint British stories, they're tales of anger & revenge!!

Replying to @runwithskizzers

For years I’ve been wanting alternate history where North and/or South America, Africa, etc., conquered and colonized Europe instead of other way around. I’ve pondered it but can’t quite visualize the full scope of the differences. I’d love to see how writers envision it. #MSWL

Let’s also have more protagonist moms whose power doesn’t come from a system of patriarchal monarchy, who come to prominence not for whom they married or birthed, but for their independent accomplishments.

Let’s see more heroines whose power isn’t derived from proximity to men.

YES SARAH!!! Life for women and women characters does not start and end with marriage/motherhood. We are women before and after marriage and motherhood, with stories to tell there too. #MSWL esp in SFF.
