1. I had a friend note to me today that they were not sure that trans (and non-cis authors) in general were aware my site's Big Idea feature was open to them to promote their newly released works. So, to clear up any confusion: It totally is.

2. Here are the guidelines for pitching to The Big Idea -- if your book fits those criteria, pitch away! Because of the quarantine times we're in, I've been running more Big Idea pieces than before, to promote authors and their new work. So there's space.

3. Also, the Big Idea feature is not bounded by genre or author type -- it tends to get more SF/F because I'm me and the community knows about it, but it's open to all genres and all people. Don't be shy about making a pitch; if there's space available, I want to promote authors.

4. It's a tough time for authors in general right now: We can't tour or do the things we usually do to promote ourselves. I love that I see so many authors promoting other authors. I'm glad to be part of that energy, and to promote authors of all sorts.

So, to reiterate: If you're a trans author, or an NB author, or otherwise non-cis in some way, yes indeed, the Big Idea is open for you to pitch your new/upcoming book to. Come on down!
