Thanks to everybody who contributed!

Feel free to reblog & add more.

Where’s Michelle Sagara/Michelle West? David Anthony Durham? Maurice Broaddus? Karin Lowachee? Are we just talking about novels because if we’re including short stories, then where is:

K. Tempest Bradford

Amal El-Mohtar

Maryanne Mohanraj (though she writes a lot of non-sf/f from what I understand)

Marjorie M. Liu

Yoon Ha Lee (seriously, if you haven’t read the short stories this author has written, do yourself a favor and go RIGHT NOW and find some).

Shweta Narayan

Shveta Thakrar

Stephanie Lai

Jaymee Goh

Maria Acosta

Greg Van Eekhout

Neesha Meminger (she wrote Into the Wise Dark)

Also, AFAIK, Tobias Buckell identifies himself as a PoC.

What about those authors who’s work is classified as “magical realism”? Because that opens a lot of literature by non-white/PoC authors up. 

This list just seems way too short to me. Also, is this open only to English language authors and those who are published inside white-majority/white-dominant countries. Because while I like the idea, it seems like it might get tricky when you get to nations where the designation “PoC” wouldn’t necessarily hold the same meaning it does here in the U.S. (or in UK/Can/Aus and such nations).
