When we talk about issues of representation, many editors say, “Where do I find writers of color?”
I’d like to start to answer that question by compiling a working list of writers of color, across genres. Please feel free to share some of the names from your rolodex, either in the comments or via e-mail (roxane at therumpus.net). Give a name, the genre(s) the writer works in, and one link to a personal website, work sample, or social media presence. In a few weeks, I’ll put it all together so we can build a good resource to work with.
