Sistah SciFi discussion

Hi!

I’m a 21 year old writer / lover of Afrofuturism + stories with powerful black female protagonists and I was wondering where other people read indie stories by non published black writers on writing platforms. The most common platforms I know of are Wattpad and Inkitt, but those sites are often saturated with YA romance and well, stories about and for white people. And I used to love Goodreads, but it seems that the writing community section of Goodreads has died out. So where do you find good stories by black writers, with black characters?

SuperheroesInColor tumblr has helped me out. You still have to do some searching for a few titles but for the most part, it's pretty good

If you mean non published as in they don't have a book out, there's short story magazines. FIYAH Literary Magazine is great (https://www.fiyahlitmag.com/product-c...). It's dedicated to publishing science fiction, fantasy, and supernatural horror by black authors with black protagonists.
