As the author of a young adult novel about an intersex character, I have been waiting EAGERLY for this month's topic, and have the reading list all set to go!
However, I'd like to take a minute to publicize today's #WeNeedDiverseBooks social media campaign (1pm ET) just in case people aren't already aware of it. Initiated by Ellen Oh, with help from Tu/Lee & Low book, the hashtag campaign has been huge on Twitter already, trending nationally and internationally, but I know that not everyone is plugged in to the Twitterverse.
Here's an overview of the campaign: http://www.iwgregorio.com/2014/04/30/weneeddiversebooks-needs-you/
The initial call to action: http://weneeddiversebooks.tumblr.com/post/83943947418/we-need-diverse-books-campaign
And some press from Book Riot: http://bookriot.com/2014/04/30/jump-weneeddiversebooks-campaign-help-change-world/
And bustle.com: http://www.bustle.com/articles/22915-weneeddiversebooks-the-twittersphere-rallies-for-diversity-in-literature
We plan to have a Twitter party at 1pm and you have until then to submit your own photo at http://weneeddiversebooks.tumblr.com/submit!
Thanks again and apologies if this is preaching to the choir :)
