the_siobhanI am specifically looking for SF/fantasy books and short stories.
I want recommendations of work by writers of colour.
Bonus points if the writers are women or non-cis.
I have a few authors on my list already to check out, (Octavia Butler and Nalo Hopkinson were the first names I came up with) but I want to see what other suggestions I get.

Amal El-Mohtar (who is also Canadian)
Nnedi Okorafor -- her novella Binti is one of the best things I've read this year, and is up for lots of awards
NK Jemisin
Alyssa Wong -- she writes more horror than SF/F, which I don't read, but what I can read has been wonderful
Tananarive Due (I haven't read her stuff yet, but it is highly recommended)
Aliette de Bodard
Sunil Patel
John Chu
S.L. Huang -- her heroine whose "superpower" is math is awesome.
Isabel Yap -- her novella "Milagroso" is up on tor.com (LOTS of authors of color on tor.com, actually)
Caren Gussof
Kai Ashante Wilson
"Long Hidden" and "Mothership: Tales from Afrofuturism and Beyond" are both excellent anthologies
