Can't find data for the entirety of US publishing, but Penguin Random House did a survey that breaks down the demographics of their "contributors" (their umbrella term for writers, illustrators and other creatives). Unsurprisingly even contemporary writers are majority female, at least at Penguin. As per usual with these diversity surveys, Penguin's takeaway is that they need to publish more "people of color," however. Underrepresentation of men isn't worth mentioning to them.
