Cassandra Clare & Holly Black On the Importance of Diversity
“One of the things I get most often in terms of letters from kids is: ‘Could you write a kid like me?’ Which incorporates the spectrum of diversity—a character of color, a disabled character, a neuro-diverse character, a gay character, a lesbian character, a trans character, and it just goes on. I’m like, ‘Look, I’m on it.’ I know we can all do a better job and work harder at it. And we definitely talked about it when we were working on Magisterium.” (Parade)
