That’s the issue. That’s why black authors are upset because we’re not being accepted, and it’s been proven that we’re not. I understand that many cultures and races of people within the community would like to have their share of representation as well, but black authors aren’t represented as much. I don’t know why.
Agreed and I really love the fact that they featured Instant Princess!
Yeah, I did too.
I do honestly hope they feature a shelf of either black authors or stories with black main characters. Support this idea for sure!
I love the writer of instant princress, they wrote this story called wentworth, it is amazing and it has great POC representations
I know I’ve read it.
its okay
Tbh, the way they worded that post did make it sound like they were going to do a shelf so I don’t think you’re wrong for wanting it. You could even say they mislead you since judging by the comments, a lot of people thought this too
Mhm. Right.
Bump
I get you, I was one of the authors picked in February. I had mentioned at the time, I was a little disappointed they only picked my story because I’m black… I mean it was nice to be featured, but I feel that that shouldn’t be the only reason a black author’s story is added to a shelf.
Oh my…I support you 100% though. There needs to be more representation on the platform.
I’ve only been writing about a year on it so I don’t fully know what’s happened in the past…
