Lationamerican writers, as well as others, are wonderful find. One of my favorites is Isabel Allende (and there's another great one I like but the name escapes me now).
Everyone has a chance in industry. I, myself from Polish descent, have been working on a book based on personal experiences I have had since my father's passing -- eating disorders, alcohol, smoking --. It's kind of based on how a teenager tried to find a new identity after an emotional upset in the home. It's bringing out feelings and insight on facing a parent's death. It is, also, something that would have helped myself and my brothers. But, that's a complicated story. Email me if you want to hear it.
Last, everyone on the forum is talented and you don't need a degree to tell you that. Keep on writing.
