Open Sourced, Contemporary Latinx Authors

Here is a list of ten works by mostly living writers of Latinx descent.  For every one here, there are dozens more that could be added, but this is a good start.  As you access these works, please note the websites or publications that host them, as many of them are great sources for authors of other identities.  I list a few in the final chapter.
