An open letter to Brian Murphy, CEO of #HarperCollins Re: #HCPonstrike @hcpunion We’ll keep this brief. Pretty sure your inbox is overflowing these days. We’ve both had the privilege of being longtime authors with HarperCollins. (1/6)

Someone graciously checked me on this, and I want to make a correction— my definition of under-represented voices extends to white or white appearing under-represented authors, of which there are many. BiPoc would probably have been the better term to use here. My apologies!

As always, I want fiction (adult, YA, kidlit) from under-represented voices. That means non-white, queer, disabled and neurodiverse. And I want the story *you* want to tell. That's burning for *you*.

So, we watched the first ep of Wednesday, and while I think the cast is stellar, it feels odd to see the Addamses among other "weirdoes." I think they work better juxtaposed against normie suburbia.

I've said it before, but send me those dangerous, life-saving stories. I want stories that move readers, moments that make me look up and say “Wow, yes. I’ve felt that.”

What do I mean by crossover genre fiction? Adult sci-fi, fantasy, horror, thriller, and rom-com. I love funny, feelsy, weird, dark, and I read everyone from Casey McQuiston to Kate Atkinson.

If Twitter crashes and you need to find me, the hell you will. I've got a two day head start on you, which is more than I need. I speak a dozen languages, know every local custom, I'll blend in, disappear, you'll never see me again.

We're hitting the point where every tweet could be your LAST TWEET. Anyway, just a reminder that the estimated cost to end child hunger in America is $25 billion dollars, about half of what Elon paid for Twitter.
