“She had already published The Bluest Eye and Song of Solomon when she really began to gain traction as an editor. Instead of saying, ‘I am satisfied being the only one,’ she was very clear that she wanted to be in community with other Black writers.” https://t.co/YlhD69NDfq

[Ayana Gray (Updates) @AyanaGray]

1971: A young New York librarian named Geri attends her first @ALALibrary conference.

*Exactly 50 Years Later*

2021: Geri’s granddaughter attends the same conference as a guest speaker to talk about her debut book, then calls her grandma to tell her all about it. #ALAMW21 😭

[Tracy Deonn - Updates Only @tracydeonn]

I wonder what Write Every Day Twitter would say if I shared that I stopped writing fiction* for 10 years before I started LEGENDBORN.

Wonder what Fanfic Isn't Real Writing Twitter would say if I clarify that the only fiction* I could even bear to attempt was fanfic. ❤️

[Black Girls With Magic & Books @GirlWMagicBooks]

If you’re currently reading our October pick, #Legendborn, what chapter are you on? Who’s your favorite character?

Saying you’re an author:

- generates financial comparisons to You Know Who
- opens narratives about how ‘X’ too has written books
- you’ll forever be asked if your book is out yet

Saying you create worlds and kill people:

- makes people back away slowly and leave you in peace
