So for this upcoming Nanowrimo (which seems the only time I can just sit down and write) I want to write a YA Southern Gothic tale featuring POC characters.
Now, the entire story will be centered around (not based off of) the Rosewood massacre since my MC will be a survivor.
I don't usually do outlines for any of my stories, but I do research topics that I'm not very familiar with. I guess my issues are with the fact that if this story does get published and a descendent of a survivor does happen to read it, will they be offended by it.
Like I said the story doesn't take place during the event, but my MC is a survivor. If I'm going to do this I want to do it right.
Any thoughts?
