Hi #WritingCommunity! Nice to meet you! I’m Nabang, an AroAce Cameroonian-American Fantasy & Fabulist writer. I love crafting character-driven stories, complex relationships, identity, & coming-of-age. I finished revising my YA Contemp Fantasy under a @weneeddiversebooks.bsky.social mentorship!

Hi #DVPIT loves.

Be sure to look at my Black Authors starter kit for names and pitches as well. This algorithim is weird next to Twitter's/Xs and so what I'm seeing is a lot of Black Authors fading out of the algo due to typical engagement.
