[close] This group exists because “how we see the place and how the place sees us is different" and can undermine the feedback we get in everyday spaces. Feel free to request feedback and swap chapters and manuscripts. Fiction, nonfiction. All genres, hybrid, post-genre. Find Black beta readers for community, story development, and cultural understanding. In your request, please include: 1. Type of manuscript (short story, chapter, or article)? 2. Genre (if any)? 3. How many words? 4. Any special requests (cultural sensitivity check, continuity, what the hell am I writing??) 5. Turnaround time?

[close] Hey everyone, We are a digital community of people (you + us) interested in discovering and immersing in Black authored speculative works. Our goal is to broaden the imaginations and expressions of identities and cultures, especially those of African descent. As such, we are so glad to have you on this journey with us. We exist to push for the representation of narratives that are on the outskirts of digital and printed media. At Afrinomenon, we celebrate the diverse expressions and explorations of Black identities in works of science fiction and fantasy. This is a place for us to discuss our monthly book picks. So hang around with us if you are interested in discovering new authors and reading together. We look forward to getting to know you and would love to hear your thoughts and opinions. After the book is announced, the Afrinomenon team will post a few questions here to guide our reading. You can also stay engaged with us on Instagram @afrinomenon and check out our playlists Join us, invite your friends, and hangout with us! Cheers, Afrinomenon
