    i feel more and more now im really talking about access and when im talking about access its how to distribute power, how to create systems + networks in which we can educate and support potential publishing professionals + creators from many backgrounds.

    This is like such a huge thing. We all need to be so much better about this. Like with we’ve started not having all socials at bars / when we have alcohol making sure it’s in a safer space + that there are non-alcoholic options (other than water).

    Since cons aren't going to do anything about it, folks going to publishing cons, please remember you have friends who aren't comfortable or safe around alcohol who might be too afraid of upping the apple cart to say anything about it. Consider this when you socialize.

    I finished this book, , in the wee hours of the night... a perfect blend of literary, historical and above all, fantasy (myth). Beautiful adventure, beautiful writing. Out now. Get it.

    I thought all the trade reviews were in, but here's Booklist, which says "Fans of lush, evocative language will be thoroughly delighted." GODS OF JADE AND SHADOW is out now.

    Please read this thread about Marisa de Zavala, who we believe was the first ownvoices Latinx contemporary author, in 1981. It’s so important.

    But as we dug into romance history, I also learned some things that pissed me off. As far as I can tell, this is the first own voices published in the US. It was edited and acquired by Vivian Stephens. It was published in 1981. 3/
