#teenink I think writers need to be aware of the bigger message. And readers need to demand more from writers! 6:57 PM May 23rd via TweetDeck
Best hashtag ever. RT @suzannelazear: @acgaughen as the mother of a girl, amen to that #stronggirlsrock #teenink 6:54 PM May 23rd via TweetDeck
#teenink I have an agenda--I want to give teen girls more powerful role models. I see the effects of gender issues daily. 6:51 PM May 23rd via TweetDeck
@Algardis #teenink actually fantasy is REALLY interesting--look at how much fantasy is TOTALLY white or villifies POC (Tolkien much?) 6:45 PM May 23rd via TweetDeck in reply to Algardis
@jbakernyc #teenink I like the idea of "no-race" covers (graphic, sleek, non-audience-limiting) but why waste a good opportunity? 6:42 PM May 23rd via TweetDeck in reply to jbakernyc
@jenniferswolf #teenink me too! the idea of a visiting Moor/muslim is popular in modern reinterpretations of RH 6:40 PM May 23rd via TweetDeck in reply to jenniferswolf
@Algardis #teenink Plus I''m already writing a slightly anachronistic empowered girl, which is really important to me 6:39 PM May 23rd via TweetDeck
@Algardis #teenink it's really difficult to make that historically accurate. In big cities maybe, but not Nottinghamshire (in my research) 6:37 PM May 23rd via TweetDeck in reply to Algardis
ME TOO RT @LynneKelly: @teenink I sort of hated people when that was all going on about the Hunger Games cast. #teenink 6:34 PM May 23rd via TweetDeck
I do have to confess, set in medieval england, SCARLET is kind of the whitest book ever....#teenink 6:33 PM May 23rd via TweetDeck
YES. RT @leonicka: @LynneKelly @teenink Equally goofy is a book set in a major city but has no POC characters. #teenink 6:30 PM May 23rd via TweetDeck
@LynneKelly @kheryncasey I think we're told to "write what you know"--I don't think that has to be our own reflection 6:21 PM May 23rd via TweetDeck
