Minorities in Fantasy and Science Fiction discussion

Hi everyone, I’m T.W. Alexander 👋

I’m excited to be here—I’ve always believed that the most powerful part of science fiction and fantasy is how it lets us see ourselves in extraordinary places. Growing up, I didn’t often see stories that reflected people who looked like me at the center of cosmic adventures, so I know how important this kind of representation is.

My upcoming novel, Stellar IV: The Agents of Zierlux, is built around that same idea—four very different agents from diverse “spirit countries,” each carrying their own culture and wealth, who find themselves inside a colossal Dome that reacts to their choices. It’s as much about identity and memory as it is about survival and sacrifice.

I’d love to connect with readers and writers who share this passion for diversity in speculative fiction. If anyone’s interested, I’d be honored to share a BookFunnel link with early readers. But mostly, I’m here to listen, learn, and celebrate stories that give more of us a place in the worlds we love. 🙏🏾
