/lit/ - Literature

>There's no female conspiracy in publishing – your book might just not be good

>But while it’s true that I worked hard, it’s also true that I’m a white, married woman living in America, and that affords me a lot of privileges.

>When we talk about “gatekeepers” in publishing and the kinds of voices that are prioritised, we can’t focus solely on gender, or race, or class – or any other kind of marginalisation. Because when it comes to creating a more diverse and intersectional landscape in publishing, viewing the problem through an intersectional lens is the least that we can do. And you can bet it’s going to take a lot more than just a hashtag.

How can /lit/ come back from this?

Daily reminder there is NO BIAS in the world of publishing towards certain genders or ethno-religious groups :)
