SciFi, Fantasy, Horror (and a bit of Magical Realism even though it technically doesn't fall under Speculative Fiction) written by black women. This list is far from exhaustive (there are many more writers and many more books) but a good introduction to someone who wants to read more diverse writers (the challenge is one book a week if you'd like to read all of the authors in a year). I will update the challenge as and when the authors write more books. Book recommendations for the authors who have written several books in the notes. Enjoy! (Disclaimer - many of the books are YA. Because I love YA).
