#Writesky Would any #gaywriters like to join a Zoom writing group? We meet Wednesdays from 7:30pm Eastern for about 2 hours. Each person can read up to 2K words and the others give feedback. It's for MM writers (not just romance) but we give priority to actual gay men authors. #LGBT #OwnVoices

Although we will publish ALL Queer focused works of fiction and non-fiction, Black Cat Book Nook will specialize in work of #OwnVoice (#OwnVoices) representation.

Black Cat Book Nook Logo on a computer screen graphic with the words, "What is Own Voice? #OwnVoice (or #OwnVoices) are novels, novellas, novelettes, short stories and serials where the author and the main character share the same marginalized or underrepresented identity."Black Cat Book Nook Logo on a computer screen graphic with the words, "Core Concepts. Shared Identity: In out instance it would be sexual orientation and gender identity of the authors. Authenticity: Less likely to have characters that will be harmful stereotypes or superficial representation. Lived Experience: Showcases an author's personal challenges, joys, and day-to-day realities."Black Cat Book Nook Logo on a computer screen graphic with the words, "Why it matters? Accurate representation matters to the Queer community to read because it can be more of a genuine reflection of who are are instead of through the lens of (mostly) heteronormative authors who may see our struggles and triumphs but do not live through them. It is important to create empathy through richer, more realistic understanding of Queer people from the perspectives of Queer people that share those identities with their characters."

I didn't have "comparison," so I used "compares." This is a fun scene!

Then he’s kissing me, and I have to agree: this is much better than trying to absorb as much information as I possibly can about magic and my ancestors. Kissing Cameron never gets old; it has been something I’ve dreamed about for so long, and nothing compares to the reality of it. His lips are warm and soft and perfect, and I’m so incredibly grateful he’s here with me in Noríah. Soon, his hands are wandering over my body, squeezing and skimming, slipping under my jacket and shirt and brushing over my bare skin. Heat flares through every part of me, tingling and coiling tight, igniting me with want and desire. A soft moan slips out as Cameron’s hands reach for the buttons of my jacket, and he swiftly pops one open. “It’s hot in here,” he whispers. “Lot cooler back in my room with the window open,” I breathe back. “But you won’t let us get there.” A giant sneeze causes us to jump apart. I spin around, cheeks burning, and find Roston in the library’s open doorway—with Rayla in his arms, staring at us. She sneezes again. Her cheeks are pink, and she has a hunk of rye bread in one hand and a bunch of grapes in the other. She sneezes a third time. “Allergies,” Roston explains.

Will's used to being a foreigner as a 3rd-culture kid, but when his family moves ‘home’ to the US, he feels like a foreigner there too. Autistic and selectively mute, he invents a new identity to dodge bullying. If the truth gets out, he may lose the only friends he’s ever had. #DVpit #MG #ownvoices

UNLOCKING THE SENSE OF TOUCH: A BOY'S JOURNEY FROM CIVIL WAR TO NOBEL PRIZE

Right now Lebanon is under fire. Science is politicized. Immigrants are threatened.

So @ardemp.bskyverified.social and I present his important story (+ fun mini comics about microbiology!).

A 3rd-culture kid finds out moving 'home' is the hardest culture shock of all. Autistic, selectively mute Will pretends to be someone he's not until helping a new student reminds him that the parts of himself he's been hiding are worth sharing. #DVpit #MG #ownvoices

An autistic boy with selective mutism moves to his passport country of America after being born and raised abroad. Desperate to leave his bullied past behind, he invents a new identity. If the truth gets out, he may lose the only friends he’s ever had. SPEAK UP x KAREEM BETWEEN

Magical #immigrant girls known as "witches" can talk to each other through the stars at night and by flying folded letters in the day.
The rich & powerful are eager to control them instead of building roads to do the same.

Magical #immigrant girls known as "witches" take on surprisingly menial jobs bc few are willing to risk hiring them. In spite of this, Nasha is a wealthy healer witch, but one day she must drop everything and head north. #DVPIT #asian #asianamerican #korean #ownvoices #GN #YA #DVart #F #isekai

THE KEY TO CESARES ⚔️
A swashbuckling journey across Patagonia's wildest edges, where a girl who can move mountains and a boy chasing a legendary city learn from every stranger, storm, and spell how to finally forgive themselves. #DVPit #YA #GN #Fantasy #LATINE #Ownvoices #DVArt

Comic page in warm orange and gold tones. An angry mob shouts "¡Quémenlas!" ("Burn them!"). A caption reads "Nueva Granada, 1801." Soldiers in red uniforms and plumed shakos, along with a bald priest carrying a tall iron cross, lead three ragged, shaven-headed girls through the crowd. One girl clutches a small doll. In a close-up, the frightened girls look up as one says "Santo Dios misericordioso" ("Merciful God"). In the last panel, the girls are silhouetted from behind, facing three wooden stakes on a log pyre. A church and other buildings of the town square stand behind them under a yellow sky.Comic page in dark reds and ambers. A furious crowd fills the top panel, and one man raises a stone. In a stark white panel, a bound girl, drawn in flat red, recoils with her hands to her face as a stone strikes her head with a "CRACK!" while her doll flies from her grasp. Magdalena's laced boots and lavender skirt stand in the crowd as the doll lands at her feet with a "¡PLAP!" The bleeding girl, wrists still bound, is held back by two soldiers as another girl cries "¡NO!" and a soldier shouts "¡HEY!" In the last two panels, the same girl's tied hands reach for the doll, which lies trapped under Magdalena's boot.Comic page in glowing cyan and deep indigo. A girl's face is lit white-blue against a starry purple sky as she whispers "Tú…" ("You…"). Magdalena stands at the center, hands clasped and surrounded by light. Ghostly blue faces of the crowd fill the background, frozen in place. A small kneeling girl looks up at her and says "Eres como yo…" ("You're like me…"). The final panel is a close-up of Magdalena, wide-eyed and alarmed, with pale flames rising around her head.Comic page in purple and mauve tones. Two red-haired noblemen and a noblewoman look startled as pebbles skitter across the ground, and one says "¿Hm? ¿Un temblor?" ("Hm? A tremor?"). A wide panel shows the girls bound to wooden stakes on the pyre, with the town's domed church behind them. A soldier holds one girl, a hooded executioner stands beside another, and one girl screams "¡¡Por favor!! ¡¡Ayúdanos!!" ("Please! Help us!"). In the crowd, a braided woman whispers to Magdalena, "Mantenga la calma señorita, recuerde lo que le enseñé" ("Stay calm, miss, remember what I taught you"), and Magdalena stammers "…S-sí." A close-up shows her stern, sidelong eye. In the last panel, a bound girl pleads "Por favor…"
