On the support (or lack thereof) of Black authors... Have you noticed most of the book cons + events (particularly for SFF) are dominated by white author panels? Without orgs like @BBBookFestival, @BTTFspace etc Black authors wouldn't get opportunities to meet new readers.
Our latest @BTTFspace Kinetic Discourses event on the 11th June features wonderful producer & theatre don @AlbiJames discussing his work with the galvanising Nigel Twumasi co-founder of manga network @mayamada at BRXTN Village Studios. @darkmattermktg_ https://t.co/d0L88hZQkq
