Hey to all my fellow black writers out there — Twitter is wild. There's someone (or a group of people, not sure) trying to form friendships with black authors (especially unagented).

This person is on the hunt for work to steal and query. They start by asking you about normal querying questions and then try to swap drafts to read. Don't SEND IT!!!
They've tried it with two people I know, and it's creepy and scary.

After Ava’s predictable way of life leads to nothing but heartbreak, she decides to let loose. Fake dating the governor of her Nigerian hometown to help his re-election is just for fun, right? But her little bit of fun may put her heart at greater risk than ever.

This is what I've been saying! There are African authors Iike myself who wrote African romance (not literary fiction). Support African writers. 💪🏾 Writers like
@ashakulthum
@anjyiswriting
@unwankwor
are some of those who I think agents/pubs should have picked up by now. IMO
Preach! When I started querying they told me there’s no market for African romance.
I went indie, topped Amazon chart with The Senator’s Daughter.
@BeeBabs
proved them wrong!
Why is it hard to see African living like others, falling in love?
We do! All the time! 😏

So, I'm working on my BIPOC romance directory, and the numbers are alarming. Hypothetically based on Netgalley alone, here's the math:
Each year
72 books - BIPOC romance authors with BIPOC characters.
240 books - nonbipoc authors with nonbipoc characters.

I’ll write about witches falling in love and half demon/half Mami wata finding souls to snatch. Y’all can’t tell us what to write. E don do! 😮💨
This fascination many Nigerian writers have for speculative fiction: Is it truly what they want to write and read? Or is it semi-dictated from the West? Has the latter quietly informed the former?
Nigeria is kicking our ass but you are writing about malformed aliens in Onitsha.

How people enjoy toxic romance plots amaze me… this can’t be the norm, right? Especially when the lady ends up with the same toxic lover rather than fleeing. I’m speaking from the pov of a mother — it’s not something I want for my daughter.

He looks at me, his eyes wide like he’s just seen a ghost, or maybe felt the same jolt I did. “And who are you?” he asks, like he’s got to know right now.
