POC Teen/YA Fiction
As a fiction writer, reader, WOC, and lover of anime, I feel that we are very underrepresented in the literary (and cartoon/anime) world. I want to change this, to add more characters that look like me/you/us into the mix. But I need you guys’ help. I already know that I’m going to have to do a considerable amount of research in order to insure proper and positive representation for my characters, but do you guys and/or more-seasoned writers mind giving me tips/advice along the way? And suggesting non-typical/not-so-popular scenarios? I’m gonna end up using already existing material (cuz lets face it: nothing is 100% original. It was birthed from an already-existing idea) to create something fresh. If you have OCs you’ve created and would like me to feature them, please let me know.
