Agents and Editors (and More) that are Looking for #OwnVoices Books

*I am publishing this right now because it's important to get it out ASAP. I am still working on  splitting people into general age categories of work they look for, links to their actual professional pages, etc.*

*if you want on this list, comment below with your links!*

(Disclaimer: I have not screened the people on this list. Please still make informed decisions when submitting. The resources listed on the (being updated) Preditors and Editors site is a great place to start.)

(Update: I added a column for book bloggers!)

I define #OwnVoices broadly to mean: the author writes from the perspective of a major character who shares very similar experiences of identity-based marginalization with the author.
