Pre-Publication Notes #2: The Origins of WATERMYTH and Tentative Publication Timeline
#amwriting #writinglife #writingcommunity #bipocauthors
Probably going to be the most low-key and unpublicized debut novelist of 2023 but I am okay with that. Goes with the territory particularly since I will only be talking about WATERMYTH on my website, the newsletter (18 subscribers now, woot!), and on mastodon. I do hope that the readers I wind up with are happy with the world I created and the narratives I am weaving, though. 💜 🌊 🧜♀️

Hey fellow writers,
I have a question: do you know of any residencies you can recommend? I’m interested in applying for any that will offer support for multi-genre writers such as myself. Thank you for your help & references in advance.

Just finished Francesca Padilla’s “What’s Coming to Me.” I hope on ever this book gets its own Netflix series. #books #bipocbooks #bipocauthors #authors #yanovel

And furthermore! The vast majority of YA characters written by older authors read like old geezer characters anyway. Stop pretending you are successfully writing 16 year olds just so you can sell in a more lucrative genre. We noticed. 🤣😅 #bookstodon #blackbookstodon #amwriting #yabooks #bipocauthors #indieauthors #writewithmichael #dybpublishing

What if the solution to creating more “realistic love stories” in YA isn’t for 30-40 year olds to continue writing explicit scenes involving teenage characters, but for us to start resourcing young people to write their own stories? There are a ton of young authors whose dreams we could just NOT stomp on. #bookstagram #amwriting #writingtips #blackbookstagram #bipocauthors #indieauthors

There is something about indigenous literature that just hits different. The pacing, the story progression, the loose timeline. It all adds elements of mystery and intrigue to the story and helps to really drive home the authors vision. Highly recommend.

Marrow Thieves follows a group of indigenous Canadians through a dystopian world where indigenous people are being hunted for their bone marrow. It not only challenges us to consider the terrifying weight of colonialism, but it’s impact on the world.

My primary goal with social media is to highlight and advocate for marginalized writers because we cannot effectively fight for diversity while the voices of marginalized people aren’t being heard. Thank you to every single person who has followed me and is sharing my content. I appreciate you. #bookstodon #blackbookstodon #blackmastodon #amwriting #writingcommunity #bipocauthors #writewithmichael
