There are a LOT of questions involved in writing diverse fiction. It's a complicated subject, even if you're a person of color yourself. I don't claim to have all the answers, but here's a starter course in things to be aware of when trying to write diverse characters or racism in fiction.

These tips are equally (and ESPECIALLY) important when writing science fiction and fantasy. Changing the colors of skin in fantastical books doesn't erase racist ideas that exist in the real world. It's important to be thoughtful of how readers will relate to and interpret your work.

My name is Lily Meade. I love books! I like to live a life inspired by fiction. I truly believe that anyone can find their own happy ending, whether in a book or in real life. I am an aspiring young adult author. I absolutely love to read (especially YA fiction, but I read adult and nonfiction, too!) and write (novels mostly). I really love storytelling in any form.

On my channel you will find a variety of videos about my life, writing (including writing updates as well as tips and tricks), novel research, book recommendations, and more! I’m passionate about a lot of things and I like making friends. Thank you for watching my videos! Please say hello!
