MAY is AAPI month! I realize that folks are getting lists, posts and panels ready to celebrate, so we* put together some graphics of newer books*** created by Pacific Islanders to help anyone searching for these types of stories. (🧵

Since I completely dropped the ball tweeting about this, we're rescheduling. I'll be on the #PreAPI tag this Friday, April 29th responding to as many pitches I can.
I'm also going through the ones that have been tweeted today.

Thank you to @HeinrichManuia and @_APIpit for providing a space for me to reflect on my experiences as a literary agent of color and also to put my evergreen request for work by Pacific Islanders out in the world again!

Twin artists Jessica and Jacinta Wibowo believe that exploring sexual and gender identities is something Indonesians should freely do, and is what their comic, Lunar Boy, is all about. #jakpost bit.ly/3zsRdLE

Happy to announce that I’m officially represented by the animated @authorblogger! I’m a serial worrier, so it’s awesome to know I’m not in this alone haha. I genuinely hope to share the story of Astro and “Starscaping” with all of you, so look out for it!😊🌻

Can I just say thank you so much to the folks who put @_APIpit together?! As an adoptee & orphan, it means so much to connect with so many Asian Americans! For the longest time, the only other Taiwanese people I knew were my siblings. This event has helped me feel whole again❤
