That cry should mean we want more stories that represent all kinds of people, not just the majority. As an author of color, I also wanted to see that change.… Continue Reading Queer in Color

Do you scrap this idea, even though it could be one of your best books or do you try doing it yourself and using what you’ve seen on TV as… Continue Reading Embracing Diversity in Fiction
