The Guests and Some Links: Emily Jiang Emily’s Website Emily’s Books Emily’s Twitter Emily’s “Big Idea” post (at Scalzi’s “Whatever” blog) John Chu John’s Website John’s Twitter E. Lily Yu Lily’s Website “Children’s Books by and about People of Color Published in the United States” (study conducted by the Cooperative Children’s Book Center) Science Fiction World Note:  I mention something about English-language authors who translate from English to Chinese and sell primarily in the Chinese market. I can’t seem to find anything about that, so either I was mistaken in hearing it on Adventures in Sci Fi Publishing or it is incredibly uncommon.
