A distinction BIPOC writers can make that I don't think publishing as a whole can: when we talk about trauma stories and not wanting them to dominate our work and rep, we're aware that instances of racism etc may still be IN the stories. That's reality. It's not THE story.

I am 100% unapologetic about resisting a culture that gives time and space to white authors to speak for the rest of us. I will speak on it. They shoulda been grateful I replied and didn't quote-tweet. Becuz my point wasn't to incite a dragging, but a reconsideration.

@KalynnBayron Baby, they said having white people as main characters "makes it more real". Invert that. Lemme help you understand what you just told me you believe. Dressed up in exclamation points and earnest "encouragement."

I'd just like to once again bring your handiwork to your attention, PW and Kirkus. I'd like you to take note of other Black women named. Almost as if this same narrative has been weaved before. I hold you responsible.

The editors have been taken to task before and snapped at me, “controversy sells” when I pointed out the pattern of their framing and then the violence bigots directed at the BW in question. Literally happened to me this past summer. They know what’s they’re doing and why.

Join and assemble book clubs. HIRE Black authors to appear and discuss. Read books in conversation with OTHER books. There are so many ways, and SO many steps, and it is not an easy fix. (9/10)
