Reading and Writing Diversity

This list was in no particular order, but it got a little long, so now it’s multiple lists in a little bit of order.

Almost every site included provides links to other sites of interest. We encourage you to use these lists as a starting point to explore and encourage diversity in speculative fiction. Other sites that also provide valuable information but do not focus on writing or reading are not included here. If you know of a site that should be linked here, please send the URL to support @ drolleriepress.com. Of course, if your website is linked here and you’d like the link removed, you may also email us at support @ drolleriepress.com and we will remove it immediately.

The websites listed at the end, while they may be appropriate to other lists here, may also be particularly helpful to white/heterosexual/abled readers who want to better understand the value of diversity to us all.
