by Ryy Dickerson When people halfheartedly say that Young Adult literature is extremely white, I laugh. Being a person of color and queer means often times I find myself in a young adult book either as the gay character or the character of color. Not too often do I get a chance to see myself as

So today is Day 6 of the #authorlifemonth challenge 😊 I'll be doing two parts, so here's Part II It's supposed to highlight fanart/edit. I've found that with #NA vs #YA readers are less vocal when they read and like something. So people who've loved our #NA #romance #SamePage don't necessarily shout it out as opposed to #TheMarkOfNoba I've decided to make cool homemade fanart😇 The two ppl who inspired their looks were Travis Garland, a bomb ass singer I met and loved 😆 and Chime Edwards a hair vlogger I have hair envy over! So that's what inspired the art👍 #naturalista #naija #nigerian #interracial #bwwm #diversebooks #bookstagram #diverse #diversityjedi #diverseromance #booknerdigans #portugueseboys #blackgirlmagic #providence #messyromance
It's Day 7 of the #authorlifemonth challenge! Much like @dos_twinjas it’s hard for me to actually write “while” I’m listening to music, but I get hype af listening to playlists in anticipation for writing! My first two projects in the #NA #Romance genres have similar tones. So I basically listen to 50% of the same artists. #SamePage has more #NewJackSwing and #90sRnB while what makes #FTHS #playlist different, is due to the Miami vibe. #Reggaeton, #Spanish #pop music and a bunch of songs that highlight #friendswithbenefits themes! It’s fun! #InterracialLove ##weneeddiverseromance ##bwwm #bookstagram #booknerdigans #GLTomas #NA #NARomnace #ContemporaryRomance #EroticRomance #Diversebooks #diverselit #diverse #bisexual #naturalista #miami #providence #blackgirlmagic #FTHS #FriendsThatStill #SamePage #NextChapter #naija #nigerian #afrolatina #afrolatinx #messyromance #afrocubana #interracial #interracialromance #NA #diversityjedi #portugueseboys

An Update and a Request
I’m ducking my head in to say hi and give y’all an update. I apologize for the silence. The kiddo has been sick for about six weeks. It had me stressed the eff out. Thus no mental energy for the blog. I have been writing, though. So no worries on that front. Sirens Conference I had a blast. Met some awesome ladies like Justina Ireland, Kate Elliot, and Rae Carson. I got to see BR Sanders in…

So we’re super hush-hush about this, because all my bloggers friends who like Romance featuring diverse main characters, are folks we really admire and respect, and it just felt sleazy to market to folks, even though they may or may not be interested in a new read.
We’re kinda tired of the Romance we write. A lot of Romance that’s popular, and actually sells aren’t inclusive. Some readers don’t…
