This is it.

This is the thing that decides your fate. Years of writing, honing, revising, pouring your soul into your manuscript, and this thing has the power to squash everything like a bug.

Look at that thing. The soulless eyes. The pasty, overweight flesh. The problem glasses. The fucking LIVE LAUGH LOVE writing on the wall behind her!

Fucking Christ, she looks like a sexist stereotype that came to life straight from the mind of an alt-righter, like Athena from Zeus (I started with the greeks).

And the creature in pic related is only one of the seven (7) literary agents in this video, where they explain the main reasons that bring them to reject a manuscript:

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDMnYpR8C-k

Seven literary agents. All women. All with the same cookie-cutter mentality. All with the same view of what a book "should" be. All cells of the same modern femi-lefty hivemind.

Behold, the gatekeepers of contemporary literature.

(Fun game: try to imagine how many of your favorite authors would have never been published and would have died pennyless and forgotten, if they had to be judged by entities like those.)

Not really. They don’t publish primarily sci-fi/fantasy/romance stuff. You can also look into who is publishing the work of the authors you like and submit to their publishers. Pynchon, McCarthy, Rushdie, and many other great/decent authors have published books in the 2000s or 2010s.

Either way, all publishers look for something different. A children’s literature agent will not want to include anything that’s not kid friendly for example. If these agents aren’t looking for violence or “problematic representation” I guess they’re not looking for serious fiction but entertainment like YA/Genre fiction.

I very very much doubt a serious literary agent who is looking for serious fiction will be against violent scenes and “problematic representation”.

Publishers are all mentally challenged except for a select few historic outliers like Gordon Lish and Ezra Pound. In the literary world agents and publishers are like children hanging on the coattails of the writer, because without the writer what are they? A failed writer. Treat them like retards because they are. They do not understand writers, but they envy them. Submit often, and develop a track record by publishing in lit journals, and when your query letter says “my work has appeared in (insert prestigious literary journal here)” watch how they magically start loving your writing. Fucking inbred tards.

Well one of the most popular novels recently was 50 shades of grey, which included graphic sex scenes. I’m not saying 50SOG is a good book but if we took your video as gospel it could never have been published.

Contact some serious literary agents who like your style of literature if you want to get published. Obviously if you’re writing literary fiction you’re not gonna have success with agents who only care about teen/YA genre fiction.

50sofg was porn for females. The sex scenes were framed as "hot" and even "empowering" for women because yes, the main character was being tied up and sodomized, but it was from a hot 26 year old billionaire, so women liked it. That is COMPLETELY different from books that describe women raped or hurt.

I would say that 50sofg proves conclusively that retarded women control the literary landscape nowadays, otherwise a piece of shit like that would've never been published.

Why not? Not everything that is published has to be for literary people. Most people read books for entertainment. Literary fiction is a niche subset of the book industry. If you want to get published, you’ll contact agents who work within that subset.

I don’t really think they are the gatekeepers though when it comes to the kind of writing I want to do and that most anons here probably are interested in. I have no interest in the YA Fantasy readership at all. So this really doesn’t bother me much.

For sure, the publishing world is quite left of center and a bit annoying but there are writers that flout these expectations and make people seethe, yet succeed tremendously. Look at Houllebecq. Pynchon has lots of things that would be deemed problematic, he has big lipped jiving black niggers in his novels who primarily serve the purpose of comedy relief, yet his last book was published in like 2013, right?

Have you seen the statistics on mass IQ levels? They've dropped like 15-20 points in the last 50 years. The average person out there is borderline retarded, somewhere in vicinity of 90-100 IQ. And to think half those people are even dumber, under 90.

When my IQ was tested back in HS, I was scored at 115, and I felt then that I was a box of rocks. I can't even imagine being a 90.
