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

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.

I was gifted a copy of this book by Tor Teen Publishing. I have not read it yet. But I’m excited to read it. It follows a pair of Black, magical twins who have to solve the thirty year old murder of their mother in order to save the New Orleans magical community from utter destruction. #bookstodon #blackbookstodon #writingcommunity #amwriting #bipocauthors #writewithmichael #dybpublishing

I haven’t read this yet. I just received it this week as an early review copy from Grand Central Publishing. It follows Katrina Kim as her obsession with her coworker, Kurt, threatens to unravel her life. Broadly stated, it is a psychological thriller about a stalker who finds out that she is also, in fact, being stalked. #bookstodon #blackbookstodon #writingcommunity #indieauthors #bipocauthors #writewithmichael #dybpublishing #amwriting

I read an advanced reader copy of The Lies of AJUNGO this week. I loved it. It was a very short, easy read and yet it managed to tackle huge concepts like systemic power, disability and the power of a misinformation campaign. Can’t wait for you all to be able to read it so we can discuss! #bookstodon #blackbookstodon #writingcommunity #amwriting #indieauthors #writewithmichael #dybpublishing

I want stories where the bad cop/senator is not just the bad guy, but a representative of a system where they are the standard. #bookstodon #blackbookstodon #amwriting #writingcommunity #bipocauthors #writewithmichael #dybpublishing

420 followers · 50 posts · Server mastodon.worldIs it just me, or do a lot of authors and directors give us stories about “heroes” who are just an honest look at how much freedom our public officials (cops, military, etc) actually have to exert power over us without consequence if they can conjur up a good enough reason? 👀 should we talk more about this? #boostodon #blackbookstodon #bipocauthors #amwriting #indieauthors #writewithmichael #dybpublishing #diversity
