Fiction wise I have not read as much yet. Most of it is trad but I did read an epic fantasy series by Tatiana Obey who writes North African inspired mythical fantasy. She is an indie author and BIPOC. Marvellous writer.
Xiran Jay Zhao, Sue Lynn Tan, Ha Jin and Judy Lin are fantastic trad BIPOC authors, mostly fantasy.
@ErynMcConnell @maiakbc do you think Eryn would be interested in the book you are currently writing? Maybe you can give her an overview.
Maia KB Chowdhury@zhivi @ErynMcConnell that’s a big topic (3 novels and one published so far)… I will muse on this today while I am in first draft mode of writing novel #3 and will reply this weekend! In the meantime Eryn there are links on my page. Will follow up shortly on this and thanks for the nudge Zhivi to articulate this. Coming soon… 🙏
@ErynMcConnell @maiakbc you’re welcome. I told you I was gonna do something, so every change I get, when I remember, I’m gonna promote you 😊
@zhivi @ErynMcConnell omg you’re the best. 🙏🙏🙏
@ErynMcConnell @maiakbc is the book a series of books?

Incomplete list of BIPOC science fiction and fantasy (with links to other lists) that I compiled. I would add Octavia Butler now (I hadn’t read her stuff when I made the list).
