As a matter of fact I am quite well-versed in African-American literature, and was slightly offended by the stereotypical view of white people.jocelynzoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17584484729275380884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199038920161794698.post-48200490121636185452010-04-01T17:15:18.372-04:002010-04-01T17:15:18.372-04:00As a black aspiring writer whose finishing up a pa...As a black aspiring writer whose finishing up a paranormal romance series,I would have the mother of all BITCH fits if I ever get published and they hit me with a white washed cover. Jasus,take the wheel,I would,as my son says,go digital. There are some things you stand your ground about,no matter what the cost. My MC is chocolate skinned and she kicks ass. Her friends are South Asian, Vietnamese, White, Hispanic,Bi-racial,and Black. I got the UN going on up in my books,lol!<br /><br />What is going on here? CDs with plainly black faces sell millions and the buying public has no problem with it. The Italian issue of Vogue,all black,sold like fire. But white readers will run, shrieking in horror, if they see a POC on a book cover? Are they serious with this ish? It insults white readers to think they are all racists and it insults us by implying POC don't read. <br />Everywhere I've posted snippets of my books,the response has been overwhelming. Kids of color are absolutely dying to see themselves represented postively in books, especially genres like paranormal romance YA,where they are almost non-existent. There are NO main character of color that an entire series is based on in this genre. I aim to change that one day. There is a vast and untapped market here. Since publishers are aiming to make money,it makes no sense to ignore such a market.<br /><br />Thanks for representing and it does my writer heart good to know folks like you are out here.<br /><br />Be blessed and y'all have my full support.Nicolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05449656673984813916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-199038920161794698.post-53093650123431817662010-03-24T14:24:47.001-04:002010-03-24T14:24:47.001-04:00As a bi-racial woman who creates bi-racial charact...As a bi-racial woman who creates bi-racial characters in her fiction, this is SO important to me. When we go see fantasy movies and whatnot, I'm forever saying to my (quadroon) son, "So why can't the little black kid ride the dragon? Why can't a Filipina girl fight the Gods?" So I can TOTALLY relate! I'd die if my horror book got optioned and then my bi-racial, braided-hair protag got whitewashed. So thanks for creating the site and talking about such an important issue in literature.Zoe C.
