I need ideas for non-fiction diverse author, a book by or about an indigenous person or culture, a book by and about a person with mental illness, and a book with a disabled main character. Any recommendations? Feel to recommend any books in general you think would fit here though, I'll take 'em all. Also short stories, as I don't read them. I could for sure have finished this last year, or done a lot of them.

Thanks to

karin for posting this so I could steal it! :)

My brain just wants to build BIG, no matter how much I try with short stories, both writing and reading them. I love nuanced and complicated scenarios and while those are possible to put in shorter works if you're talented enough it's still hard to take it all in. So I struggle with these but feel like I need to read some every now and then because I like supporting small press publishers and they generally do a lot of shorts.

	When I find short stories I really like I just go WRITE A FULL BOOK PLZ. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
