Author of 25 books,
@zettaelliott has "something for everyone" + this clarity: "I..don’t compare my books to traditionally published titles..You can respect certain conventions but subvert or discard them when they don’t serve your story or your readers." http://shannamiles.net/a-conversation-with-zetta-elliott-the-self-publishing-series/ …Thanks.

@zettaelliott: "I really can’t name all the ways I’m supported by members of my community..women bloggers..radical librarians..teachers..I’ve been blessed to be embraced by so many when indie authors are consistently shamed & shunned." http://shannamiles.net/a-conversation-with-zetta-elliott-the-self-publishing-series/ …#indieauthorThanks.

@zettaelliott on self-publishing stigma: "It’s deserved some of the time because a lot of self-published books aren’t edited very well..There are lots of ways to make self-published books--regardless of quality--appear as something..lesser." http://shannamiles.net/a-conversation-with-zetta-elliott-the-self-publishing-series/ …Thanks.

@zettaelliott on how corporate publishers' addiction to image of "the noble Black" misses the#YA mark: "Most young readers I meet aren’t interested in dignified teenage protagonists—they want someone 'real,' someone recognizable that they can relate to." http://shannamiles.net/a-conversation-with-zetta-elliott-the-self-publishing-series/ …Thanks.

Read this to understand why diversity in kid lit matters. Love how
@zettaelliott takes on the myth of merit to call out racism in the publishing industry. Big issue is the idea of what will/won't sell. Prove them wrong. Buy books by black/brown/queer/disabled writers!https://twitter.com/zettaelliott/status/1081201486036652032 …Thanks. Twitter will use this info to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
