A look at the spec-lit book I’m querying 👻

Writing is an act of rebellion.

Keep writing.

What is Afrofuturism? I teach it at UCLA as Black science fiction, fantasy and horror. Whether it's the social science fiction of Octavia E. Butler or the fantasy worlds of @nkjemisin.bsky.social, it's art that enables us to hold up a funhouse mirror to our world to try to create a better one.

In the US, please check out bookshop.org, which partners with local/indie bookstores. You can specify a store to support, otherwise the profit goes into a general pool distributed among participating booksellers. They're also here on Bluesky at @bookshop-org.bsky.social.

Please, if you are able, support Independent bookshops.

They are the literary & social hubs of our high streets and communities.

Without their continued support, we simply wouldn't be around to publish .

Thank you.
