Calls for Diversity in Literature

“You will attract cultured and artistic people to your home.”

This is a quick post about exciting opportunities I’ve seen cropping up recently. I’m really happy to see more calls for diversity out in the lit world. Here a few that I’ve heard of:

Writing from Color & Native Voices (WCNV) Contest. A competition to make sure all voices are represented. See the finalists on their web page, including my friend Mona AlvaradoFrazier‘s BEYOND THE BARS!
Just. One. Book. Author Margaret Elysia Garcia asked folks to pitch in one book (including those with diversity) to re-stock and revive her local school’s library.
YA Short Story Contest. We Need Diverse Books is asking for entries for a new anthology (please submit by July 18th).

Feel free to add anything else you’re aware of!
