Melanie’s Reviews > How Long 'til Black Future Month? > Status Update

"In 2002, I knew that as a black woman drawn to science fiction and fantasy, I had almost no chance of getting my work published, noticed by reviewers, or accepted by a readership that seemed to want nothing more than endless variations on medieval Europe and American colonization."
What an accurate description of SF/F genres! And thank god we are no longer in 2003 and have big-name sci-fi queens like Jemisin.
