Diverse Indie YA: A list in progress

Looking for some diverse YA reads by indie authors? I was, so I put the question to Twitter today—and the recs rolled in faster than I could write them down. I got so many new titles to add to my TBR that I thought I’d collect them quickly and share them with you.

There’s something for everyone here; it’s a nice mix of fantasy and contemporary. Some are self-pubbed, while others are published by independent houses. If you have a favorite diverse indie YA book to nominate, head to the comments below and add yours! (My bank account is softly weeping right now from all the one-clicking, so I may have to avert my eyes for a while.)
