Hi All! This Is Going To Be A Quick Introduction Because This Whole Thing Is A Massive Work In Progress,

Hi all! This is going to be a quick introduction because this whole thing is a massive work in progress, but welcome to the Writers of Color Archive, a project meant to set up and run a searchable database for writers of color in the writeblr community.

To put it simply, what we especially wanted to do is take the responses to @jezifster's post (see here) and make it easy to find new writers and content to support. Are you a [genre] writer who wants to interact more with other [genre] writers? Do you want to find Ko-Fis to donate to or Patreons to subscribe to? You should be able to do that and more once this project is running.

Right now, we're working on a Google Form attached to a Google Sheet. (There's an entry on the form to give you an idea of this might look like at the end.) Please note that if the form is what people want to stick with, it'll be another option to getting your info in the archive, rather than a complete replacement to the post itself. One of the many purposes of this sideblog is to keep up with the post and reblog new entries when we find them. Please feel free to continue reblogging the post.

Another purpose of this sideblog: To give you an opportunity to let us know what you need. And first and foremost, the form and the sheet aren't final just yet. Please feel free to test both out and let us know what you think! Is it easy to navigate? Is there information we can add? Something else we need to change? Please don't hesitate to let us know! Our anon asks are on, and we'll also be keeping an eye on replies and reblogs.

That's about all for now. Once we're sure we've got a system that works for everyone and the right info this sort of database needs, we'll be able to start the migration process. Thanks so much for reading, and thanks in advance for everything!

900 🎉

not each 100 describing my current obsessions lmaoooo

followers 🎉

I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE ARE 100+ OF YOU FOLLOWING ME NOW THIS IS SURREAL 🎉

LMAO ANYWAYS THANK YOU

ahhh i absolutely love this. i'm a korean-american writer of ya romance or fantasy (mythology).

not fully fleshed out but people are free to ask about my current wip, where i dabble with east asian folklore and korean colonization. currently labeled "princess bari," it's a mythological fantasy that deals with colonization and the downfall of a kingdom, and features benevolent dragons and (obviously) deaths with high-risks. i'd love any asks about it!

other than that, i post random writing memes, writing tips/resources, fanfic drabbles, and pretty much anything i'm feeling at the moment.

you can basically find my wips here; and ig my ko-fi if anyone wants to help out a broke college student undergoing an existential crisis about her asian american identity :)

To do something positive on top of all this, if you're a writer of color, can you reblog and share something about yourself or your writing projects? Links so people can check them out would be great too!

It's not just about dunking on racists but making sure the stories that need to be heard are heard.

[White people are free to reblog to boost]

i was like ya i’m gonna do nanowrimo and then i didn’t do nanowrimo

I FEEL CALLED OUT-

“it’s me, hi, i’m the problem, it’s me” - the blank page with the blinking cursor, hours after I was supposed to have written 100 words
