Last but certainly not least for ALL QUERIES: send me your #OwnVoices stories esp if you identify as BIPOC. As a mixed raced #Latinx immigrant, I'm ❤️🔥 about representing under- or misrepresented voices. If you're comfortable, please include your background and inspiration.

Would love to see more #OwnVoices LGBTQ+ historical fiction. #MSWL

I'd love an #ownvoices upmarket 20th C historical fiction - ideally with a secret something that has to be revealed (I'm thinking ala Lovecraft Country without the Lovecraftian horror/fantasy elements, which is ridiculous to say but I want it) #MSWL
And I am ALWAYS looking for #ownvoices and a diverse set of characters to these stories. Let teens ALL be able to see themselves in the books they read.❤️

For the longest time I did not know just how many Filipino/a/x were writing SFF *bc the callous disregard & apathy of white fandom was erasing us.* That’s a huge reason why I grit my teeth & fight like hell for me & others to be visible & recognized in these spaces. twitter.com/BenCKinney/sta…Same here. I'd love to see these stories. #ownvoices #SFF #MSWL

Also, I really was not a fan of being first gen as a kid. I kind of push backed on German culture because I wanted to fit in with my peers. MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING but MG and #ownvoices for your culture. Because sometimes it is hard being caught between two worlds. #MSWL

Absolutely love creators writing stories that reflect the diversity of the world we live in, but I’d be remiss to say that I wasn’t highly interested in seeing stories like these written by diverse creators themselves. #MSWL
