I had the privilege of meeting Esi at the Long Island Romance Writers Association summer luncheon, and she immediately grabbed my interest. She's passionate about books, writing, and publishing...and she believes in our need for diverse books. I was so excited to have a chance to discuss the lack of diversity in the commercial publishing world, how we can correct it, and why writing diverse characters can be a bit terrifying for some. Esi's a goldmine of information, and she talks about what she looks for as an editor for Kensington.
