The publishing boom for diverse authors comes after decades of writers being told by largely white publishers their stories were 'unmarketable,' novelist Angie Cruz tells Axios Latino.
by Xochitl Gonzalez, tells a fictional story about siblings by playing with genres — it's part political thriller for one sibling, part romantic comedy for another, and also serves as a primer on Puerto Rican history.'s memoir, "Solito," is written from the perspective of his 9-year-old self, the age he was when he made the perilous journey from El Salvador to the U.S.in countries of origin, writing styles and genres," Gonzalez tells Axios Latino.
"The more that happens and the more that it then permeates the rest of pop culture ... the more all those many wonderful Latino books can help to paint a picture of the breadth of our experience."The success of these works also signals that Latino creators can be more experimental without fear of being shunned by mainstream publishing houses, the authors say.
"I think it's going to open up a lot of opportunities for us, especially Latinx writers, for more innovation in writing, plays or TV," Cruz says. "Having that in the market allows people to start imagining us as integral parts of the conversation in the United States.": Cruz and Gonzalez's novels are being translated into Spanish next year. Both authors already have deals for additional books.
