Honestly, so much is just not being told yet that there's such a wide variety of diverse stories I just can't say I want till it shows up on my door. Best thing of course is a great story, well written. #MSWL

And as far as diversity goes, I am particularly seeking new authors of color and indigenous authors. #MSWL
We are still actively seeking contemporary Native American narratives for MG & YA, novel and graphic novel. I'd also love more books about black girls/by black women.

Seriously, writers: if you can write this, this is a serious #MSWL. Must be either MG or YA, could be graphic novel or novel. Or even nonfiction, if you want to tackle the real-world facts of this. #submissions #amwriting #YAlit #MGlit twitter.com/AmazonChique/s…Totally serious. Preferably POC writers from related cultures. #MSWL

I....might write woke Black farmer romance at some point newsplex.com/content/news/A… I think you can understand why<and now that's a big reason one of my #MSWL items is diverse rural settings for young readers.

On my #MSWL right now: graphic novels. I'm actively looking in my submissions pile them in the next few days. Must be diverse, MG or YA.

So the #sciencefiction I want to see in my #MSWL? Smart SF that takes a diverse future as a given.
Other
And I don't mean sidekicks either. I mean heroes. And full on casts. #sciencefiction #MSWL
Other
And then look at demographic predictions for the next 50 or 100 years. If you're writing #sciencefiction you need a diverse cast! #MSWL

Late-night #MSWL in reaction to reading yet another SF set in a nearly all-white future: SF is extrapolation! LOOK at current demographics.
