It’s always encouraging to see agencies invest in new perspectives and champions for meaningful stories. Supporting MG and YA voices from BIPOC writers helps the industry keep moving forward — sometimes one careful step at a time, like in Crossy Road. Wishing Tasneem Motala every success in this new role.
I really like Tasneem Motala’s expertise, but I’m also curious: she says “magnetization loves deep Steal Brainrot Game stories” — is she open to manuscripts that don’t follow a clear commercial formula? I think many BIPOC authors have very unique, unpredictable perspectives.
