Thread of folklore retellings by Black authors (1/7)

@MzYummyDread I'm hoping it's better than it sounds here. Like, there's gotta be a missing puzzle piece that would make someone greenlight this.

[Melanin Library (Chelsea.) @Melanin_Library]

I'm gonna need some context because if the protagonist is a Black girl trying to prove her humanity to an audience of Americans who would happily watch her die... that would be A CHOICE.

[Helena Haywoode Henry @helena_h_henry]

So so thrilled to share the publication date for my debut novel, LAST CHANCE LIVE! - coming fall 2025! Grateful for the teams at PRH/Nancy Paulsen, Root Literary, and UTA!
