>Our international publishing organization is currently looking for authentic and diverse voices to write about the experiences of trans or nonbinary BIPOC characters living in a multicultural and racially diverse medieval fantasy world in a novel series. All submissions must come from established trans or nonbinary BIPOC authors with the authentic lived experience of living in a multicultural and racially diverse medieval fantasy world. No unsolicited submissions. Please query first with a recent post-op photograph of yourself and a 3,000 word essay relating your personal experiences with navigating the feudal manorial system as a trans or nonbinary BIPOC. Peasants are preferred but we will consider craftsfolx and artisans with unique stories. Preference will be given to orcs and lizardkin, as your protagonist should share the same fantasy race as you, with "men" and "high" elves discouraged.

When did submission guidelines turn into this?

Only one group of people seem to hatefag on new freedom groups and refuse to assimilate. They run to 4chan to plot.

Penguin IIRC had a big push a while back but gave up more or less. I like to imagine how much they seethe when literally the only reason anyone buys from them is to read le Dead White Men.

I'm a screenwriter. I'd guess that about 1/2 of the open calls for submissions from America and Europe I get specify the ethnic or racial background and gender identity or sexual orientation of the writer they're looking for. Many of the ones with such specifications say previous writing experience or even writing samples aren't neccessary.
