Was just talking to someone this weekend about the book proposal writing process. Can we signal boost Black literary agents?
-
Maybe crowdsource agents here on Twitter and create a list?
-
That's a great idea! I've seen a list circulating on Twitter.
-
If you find it I'll retweet it! There are so many deep and talented Black women writers who need their work on bookshelves.
-
That's it! I just retweeted the tweet as well.
